The ministry is collecting public comments on the proposal.
The consultant preferred a 5-level solution.
Level 1: first 100 kwh
Level 2: 101-200 kwh
Level 3: 201-400 kwh
Level 4: 401-700 kwh

The proposal is expected to minimize changes in electricity bills among different seasons and enable energy savings.
Poor households and families of social beneficiaries get price subsidy for their first 30 kWH of electricity consumption in the first level.
