BERA considers BPC’s 5% tariff increase request

The decision will be informed by suggestions, comments and consultations that BERA and BPC have been hosting.

The corporation requested BERA last year together with proposals for another five percent increase in 2022-2023 and yet another four percent for 2023-2024. The BPC received a 22% average tariff increase in the 2020-2021 financial year, which was met with outrage by consumers who complained that the adjustment worsened the impact of COVID-19 on personal incomes.
