Ministry of Finance's Price Management Department has proposed the government to raise the electricity price by 10.7 percent or 6.8 percent from the current average level of 970.9 dong/kWh.
The plan of raising 10.7 percent is based on the coal price adjustment. As estimated, the extra cost each household has to pay is 5,000-10,000 dong/month depending on the usage levels of below 50 kWh and over 50 kWh.
As for the second plan with 6.8 percent increase, the additional cost for electricity of each household will be 5,000-8,600 dong/month.
