The ministry of mines and energy said that in the following weeks homes and businesses that exceed their average monthly electrical consumption will be charged additional fees for every extra kilowatt-hour used, while those who use less electricity than usual will be rewarded with discounts. Officials in Colombia hope the measures will help to reduce consumption and help local reservoirs recover.
