There are many different rates depending on what part of the country you are in and in what neighborhood. I know that La Ropa has a higher beginning rate than some of the other colonias in town. I am including a link to the CFE website that hopefully will help you find your rate. For us, as an example, we have rate 1B. As long as we stay below 400 Kwh usage per month we can stay at that rate. However, if we go above that usage for more than 4 months then we enter into DAC, which is a much higher rate.

Hopefully this will help you with information directly from the "horse's mouth"

I was told that the cost per KWH depended on which part of town you lived in. BTW, Casa Amarilla is on the market.

I know this has been posted a number of times before and I wish I would have paid more attention and even more so, I wish I had a better memory. I sort of remember that there was about 3 charging tiers when it comes to electrical costs. Thinking of possibly buying a casa in or around Zihua and I am looking at an old energy bill where I think the cost is $635/kW and $198/kWH. Are these the numbers that one can decrease after several months of using less energy? Any other help (in explaining the bill) would be greatly appreciated. Gracias.
