The American Samoa Power Authority informs customers of the recent drop in the per kilowatt- hour (kWh) price for electricity due to the continued drop in fuel prices over the last couple of months.
As the cost of diesel fuel drops so will electric rates. Since March 2020 to the current billing month of July 2020, there’s been a 16% drop in the “fuel surcharge” portion of the electric rate, from $0.23185 to $0.19432.
The current residential per kilowatt-hour rate of electricity for July 2020 is $0.29172
compared to March 2020 which was $0.32925.
ASPA says, “With the uncertainty of the fuel markets and the current COVID-19 pandemic, we hope the rates continue to drop. Any savings from drops in the price of diesel fuel will be passed on to our customers.”
