The recent change in the billing cycle of the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) from twenty-eight days to forty days has caused widespread dissatisfaction among residents.
Many disgruntled customers took to social media to express their concerns about the sudden increase in their utility bills.
In response to the public outcry, the Cabinet summoned key officials from APUA, including the General Manager, Electricity Manager, Financial Comptroller, and Chief Accountant, to address the issue and pacify the aggrieved customers.
Information Minister Melford Nicholas announced that the APUA team has committed to increasing communication with the public through press releases and other channels to reassure customers that the billing cycle for the next period will be reduced to twenty days, resulting in lower electricity bills.
Furthermore, APUA managers emphasized their plans to gradually implement smart meters, which will enable them to monitor daily consumption for all 40,000 customers remotely without the need to physically enter properties.
Hope so!!!
Cutie with his baby mother since she was 13 years old up to this day never married her WHY DONT YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Where Pringle and cutie business come into the Apua saga? ANTIGUA is a sweet place. At least the PM marry queen murrrr. All the other side chick’s have to behave. Now to APUA…I will believe it when see it.
Airing your dirty laundry on antigua.news is the new flex? Stop the nastynesssss. All the Ablp ministers have wife and wivesssss
Apua don’t care about nobody. They glad to bill for plenty even though you are not home and yet if you can’t pay on time they cut you off only to add reconnection fee ontop. Why can’t Apua give people options pay as you go metres and stop talking about just smart metres. Dominicans Vincentions and others countries have been using pay as you go metres. Why can’t Antigua have as well. The PM should Love People Enough to see this comes a reality. Give people choices.
Power to the People.
Good
It’s about time
I thought there were waiting for people to strike
APUA Just as tief as those who operated it for many years. Bled this country. Such the country dry dry dry. Now they old and sitting on millions. Maybe ….just perhaps that money might add a few years to their life. Wicked blood sucking money hungry politicians. Look at the water situation in Antigua. Every government promise to make it better. I get water bills and no water. Internet service sucks. I can’t us3 my inet phone overseas. As for electricity. I went away for two months and paid the same bill as if I was there. Wicked people have a place in the lake of fire. I Saif what the heck I said
That’s really great give the people what you owe them! Also I like the fact that they are going to use smart meters. I think it is a good plan.
