According to PREPA and LUMA representatives, the increase in the use of peaking units and, consequently, in the consumption of diesel (which is more expensive), coincided with the increase in the cost of all fuels.

In a technical hearing where differences between both parties were exposed, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) and LUMA Energy explained yesterday their proposal to increase electricity bills by 4.053 cents or 18.4 percent for the first quarter of 2022, which they mainly attributed to the increase in the use of expensive fuel.
