How does electricity billing work in El Salvador?

In El Salvador, electricity is billed in progressive tiers: the more you consume, the higher the price per kWh beyond certain thresholds. At 150 kWh/month (1,800 kWh/year), the estimated monthly bill is calculated by applying each tier's price.

FAQ

What are tiered electricity rates in El Salvador?
Monthly consumption is split into blocks with different prices. The first kWh are cheaper (sometimes subsidised) and the price increases in higher tiers.
How is a tiered electricity bill calculated?
Each tier is multiplied by its price per kWh. The result is added to the monthly standing charge (if any) and the IVA tax of 13% is applied.

How is electricity billed in other countries?

Electricity prices and billing structures vary widely by country. In central Europe, consumers pay an annual base price (Grundpreis) plus a per-kWh working price. Nordic countries buy energy at the Nordpool spot price. France and Italy use a contracted power subscription. And in many countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa, progressive tiers by consumption apply, often with government subsidies.
