How many households have renounced the electricity and gas tariff concessions to continue buying savings in dollars

With the start of the new month, which has already been 5 days, the renunciations of electricity and gas subsidies accelerate. What’s the reason? In mid-August it emerged that soon those who decided to withhold that state aid would be on the banned list to acquire the desired monthly share of US $ 200, or better known as the savings dollar. Since the possibility to delete the RASE module has been opened, There are already 64,841 families who have chosen this option.

That number represents something more than the double that he had renounced the subsidies as soon as the Secretary of Energy, commanded by Flavia Royón, had given the green lever to the option. Up to August 31 there were around 25,000 families who had made use of the withdrawal from the RASE model, thus renouncing the possibility of withholding tariff concessions.

It is worth mentioning that the new segmentation came into effect on 1 September of rates that will leave out of state aid all those who are in Level 1, that is, those with the highest income. Those in level 2 will keep their subsidies in full. And those of level 3 will keep a certain percentage of it.

The massive resignations take place despite the fact that the impediment to the purchase of savings from the dollar for those who maintain subsidies on electricity, gas and water tariffs has not yet been formalized.

How to waive tariff subsidies

To cancel the request for electricity, gas and water, You must register with the Energy Subsidies Access Register (RASE). In the second parchment there are the options:

• Complete the shape Y Edit or delete the request.

• Then go to the section “Modify or cancel the request”.
• Next you will need to enter the management number and the DNI that was obtained when the grant was applied for.
• Finally, the system will give the option to delete the registration.

15 days ago, Agustín D’Attellis, director of the Central Bank, also stated that in parallel, when they enforce this ban, they will look at other measures that prevent people from buying dollar savings, like those who once received their salary (even if only one) through the ATP, the assistance program for businesses and workers that was in place during the isolation due to the 2020 pandemic.
