A study by the international firm Russell Bedford indicates that the El Niño weather phenomenon could significantly increase energy costs for Colombian households. The analysis suggests that a typical monthly electricity bill of $175,000 could rise to $227,300 under specific conditions.
This projected increase is attributed to the combination of a potential tariff hike and a 20% rise in energy consumption during the climate event. The findings highlight the economic impact of environmental shifts on domestic utility expenses in Colombia.
