With no increase in the cost to generate electricity in Linden, the Interim Management Committee of the Linden Utility Services Cooperative Society Limited (LUSCSL) was urged by Labour Minister, Joseph Hamilton, to rescind its management’s decision to increase the tariff to consumers.
“I urged the IMC to rescind that adjustment… the cooperative is not paying any additional dollar for electricity and there should be no increase in rates,” Hamilton told Stabroek News in a telephone interview yesterday. Stabroek News was told that in the latter part of 2022 the LUSCSL increased electricity tariffs for regular consumers.
