According to the Ministry’s calculations, the savings to electricity consumers would be about 500 million USD. Under the current proposal, the reduction rate will depend on electricity consumption in 4 tiers, the lowest tier being monthly consumption of less than 300 kWh.

Quarantine facilities and facilities housing confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients will be exempt from paying any electricity bill. Facilities that provide medical examinations, testing, or treatment for COVID-19 will receive a 20% discount.
