De facto government plans 36-fold electricity tariff increase
The article focused on the Saudi authorities' plan to raise electricity rates in areas controlled by the de facto government. Household rates will increase significantly from 19 riyals to 700 riyals per kilowatt-hour, with the increase applied to consumption exceeding 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month. For lower consumption levels, the current rates will be maintained. Additionally, the commercial and government sectors' rates will be raised to 700 riyals without any transition period. The documents indicate that the goal is to increase revenue from electricity consumption, at a time when the sector faces economic challenges and a funding crisis. This move comes amid the economic tensions experienced by the areas under the control of the Houthis.
