This Monday morning, mayor Francisco Azcué, together with the president of the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Concordia, Marcelo Spinelli, accompanied by the Government Secretary Luciano Dell´Olio and the entity's vice president Martín Santana, along with members of the executive committee, held a meeting with the objective of coordinating joint work to provide assistance to all residents of the city who have not yet defined their situation regarding the regulatory changes in subsidies and electricity tariffs. Other announcements were also made.
In this regard, the Mayor indicated that, based on this coordination between the Municipality and the Cooperativa Eléctrica, many users will be able to access the energy subsidy, as technical teams will be made available to them starting next Wednesday to assist and carry out the administrative procedure so they do not lose said benefit. “We believe this working methodology is a necessary platform for the city to take off,” stated Azcué.
Marcelo Spinelli, president of the Cooperativa Eléctrica, expressed his satisfaction at being able to carry out this joint action “since, as we have been maintaining, solutions must be collective and not individual, and as we join efforts, the possibilities of achieving our objectives increase; therefore, we thank the Municipality for this opportunity.”
REGISTRATION TO RECEIVE TARIFF SUBSIDIES
Regarding the Energy Subsidy Access Registry (RASE), Government Secretary Luciano Dell´Olio announced that starting this Wednesday, June 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at the Convention Center facilities, personnel from the Municipality and the Cooperative will be available to advise and guide on the corresponding registrations.
For his part, the vice president of the Cooperative, Martín Santana, detailed specifications for those who must attend the call as a priority, noting that in accordance with the provisions of the National Secretariat of Energy, users who are at Level 2, mainly those who have been beneficiaries of the former Social Tariff and who have not completed the RASE, must do so before July 31 in order not to lose the subsidy.
If this requirement is not met, they will automatically move to Level 1 (high income) and will face a significant increase in energy prices, as provided by the National Secretariat of Energy.
PURCHASE OF ENERGY FROM Salto Grande AND TRANSFORMER STATION
In the same framework, mayor Azcué made explicit his accompaniment and support for the cooperative entity's initiative to access the direct purchase of energy from Salto Grande, taking into account that in recent days the national government announced that it is seeking a new form of commercialization.
In that sense, the mayor also highlighted the joint work for a Transformer Station in the Industrial Park, as this will provide an impulse to the city's productive development, opening the possibility for new industries to settle in Concordia, consequently bringing job creation.
To this, Spinelli added that this technical problem of adapting the distribution system to demand needs is not exclusive to our city, but is suffered by many areas of the country.
AIRPORT
Finally, the authorities of the Cooperativa Eléctrica announced the immediate solution for the energy supply for the new facilities of the renovated local airport, a high-cost investment that will have the entity as a protagonist in its installation, accompanied by the contribution that will be made by the provincial government and the Argentine delegation of the Mixed Technical Commission of Salto Grande.
