ハワイは来月から電気代の値上げ

来月から電気代上昇へ

Cutting out coal from Oahu’s power generation mix next month is going to generate somewhat of a jolt to household and business electricity bills.

Hawaiian Electric forecasts that the shutdown of a 30-year-old AES Corp. power plant fueled by coal on Sept. 1 will result in a $15 — or 7% — increase in the monthly cost for a typical residential customer using 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The increase, which amounts to 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, is expected because the utility company will initially rely on more power produced from oil, which costs more than coal.

原油・原材料の上昇により兼ねてから電気代上昇する可能性が示唆されておりましたハワイですが
いよいよ来月から、7〜15％程度の上昇もありそうですね。

なお、長期賃貸の場合は、通常はテナント負担
となる上に、一般住宅の賃料・ホテル宿泊費の上昇も続いている為に
すぐに収支が悪化するという事はないと思います。
