| Can you explain the electric bill? Can anyone explain the electric bill to me? Here's my latest:Tipo de Medidor: Activa Tipo Lect: Real Cargo Pot Contratada 4, 6 kW X 1M X $40, 95 118, 37 Factuacion de Consumo 100kWh ($3, 022) 302, 17 163kWh ($4, 251) 692, 87 Cargo Fijo 123, 00 Otros Conceptos Recon-Corte-03/05/2011 09 47, 30 This is for 26/12/11 to 25/01/12. There was a price increase on 1 Jan and I can figure out what that meant. But why are there 2 different facturaciones? And something happened last March and we are being charged for this now? |

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering if we were on the "cheaper time" rate where daytime hours had a lower rate than evening hours, and maybe the 100 kWh was a minimum or something. Looks like that is not what we have. What we have is the same rate all the time, just the first 100 kWh are cheaper. So it doesn't matter when the water heater is on. Or when we use the washing machine. |

What is your total about $1, 200 pesos? I think that is pretty cheap for Uruguay. What are others paying? Mine was always $2, 200-$3, 500 pesos a month.Expert Page: Quick Tips for Getting Settled in Uruguay |
| "Electric Bills"
We live on a farm and our meter is only read every other month, On the other month they always (uner)estimate our bill. Consequently, we pay more than I think is fair because we pay the higher rate for the estimated bills.In any case, our bills are running around $1, 800 on the estimated months and $2, 400 pesos on the real months. We have always thought our bills are high. We are very conservative in our electrical usage. We use the CFS (?) bulbs, I rarely use the clothes dryer and we use ceiling fans instead of the air conditioning. Of course, here in Aguas Dulces, close to the ocean, we enjoy a fresh breeze 99 per cent of the time and the nights are pretty much always cool. Our big energy comsumers are our freezer and our water pump which has to pump water from the well, quite far from the house, and downhill, to the holding tank. We also have a pump that delivers the water to the house because the builder wanted $2, 000 USD for a tall water tower for our 1, 000 liter water tank. Itīs awful when the electricity goes out - no lights AND no water. And it goes out quite a bit. Anybody else have problems with the electricity going out? Expert Page: Aguas Dulces Cabin Rentals |
| "High Electric Bills"
I think you'll find the price of electric in Uruguay to be high and remember what you pay also includes the 22% iva... I would never use CFS (ie: mercury filled) light bulbs. Simply because I don't want to bring mercury into my environment. One of the arguments for them is they put less mercury into the environment than a normal power plant. Now that may be true, but the power plant isn't putting the mercury into your living room, like a light bulb breakage in your living room would. Additionally, in a place like Uruguay where I believe most electric is coming from hydro... which puts no mercury in the environment. And, aside from the mercury they don't put out a very comfortable light. There seem to be some pretty cost effective solar hot water systems available in Uruguay and that may resolve a big chunk of your usage. My Uruguay electric bill was normally $2200-$3500. That was just for hot water, lights, tv, computers, small hot water tank... no heating or air conditioning. Expert Page: Quick Tips for Getting Settled in Uruguay |
| "Electric Bill"
Our bill total was $1, 652, including the above-listed costs plus IVA. Major electric use included water heater, washer, fridge, and lights. We did not use the in-floor heater during that billing period, nor did we use the dryer (well, once or twice). We also did not use the A/C. We have gas for cooking, so that saves some electricity, too.I'm not sure how much difference this makes, but we turn the water heater on in the morning and, when the light goes off, we turn it off. The heater hold enough water for a full day's use and more. |

I live in the campo, have a large house and a swimming pool so I used to get high bills because of the escalating charges... the more we used in any one month, the higher the per kilowatt charges went. Because UTE only reads the meter read every two months, they used to take a delight in underestimating the non-metered months in order to hit us for the very high charges which they impose if you exceed 600 kWh.Last year UTE decreed that they were extending their Optcion Inteligente to rural users so I applied for the double tariff. AS a result I now pay a base charge (before IVA) of just over 2 pesos/kWh from midnight to 6pm and a high rate (5 point something pesos) for power used between 6pm and midnight... though the period changes to 17.00h to 23.00h in winter. The overall result has been to cut my peak monthly bills from roughly 3000 pesos before to 2000 pesos now. The real advantage is in no longer paying on a more- you- use- the- more- you- pay- per- unit basis. |
| "electric bills and loss of power"
Is anyone using on demand water heaters? Is there natural gas or propane for water pumps and cooking appliances? Also, has anyone tried to incorporate solar water pumps? |
| "Natural Gas"
Natural gas is commonly used for cooking, and in the places that don't have natural gas, propane. But neither seems to be used for hot water or other residential uses.A Turkish fellow living in Montevideo has been active with solar hot-water systems.
