Parliament considers removing fourth electricity rate
The proposal aims to eliminate the fourth tier of electricity consumption tariffs in Bahrain, which applies to consumption exceeding 7,000 kWh. The goal is to reduce the burden of rising electricity bills, especially for low- and middle-income families. The proponents of the proposal believe that removing the fourth tier will ease the financial strain on households and maintain the price of the third tier, ranging from 5,001 to 7,000 kWh, at 16 fils per unit. Additionally, the fourth tier, starting from 7,001 kWh and above, will remain unchanged without any increase in the tariff. This comes amid high electricity consumption due to rising temperatures, as air conditioning is a basic necessity in the Bahraini climate.
