Kralendijk, 29 July 2025 – The fixed usage tariff for electricity and drinking water for small connections will be reduced as of August 1, 2025. As a result, the electricity tariff under the Pagabon pre-paid system will also be reduced.
In the Spring Budget Memorandum, the government has allocated additional funds aimed at improving purchasing power, specifically for subsidizing the fixed usage tariff for electricity and drinking water. These funds are intended to lower the fixed usage tariff for electricity connections up to 3*50 Ampere (*) (a reduction of USD 14.16 per month) and drinking water connections of ½ inch (a reduction of USD 16.34 per month). For Pagabon electricity users, this results in a decrease of USD 0.0680 per kWh.
Based on this, the following new tariffs will apply as of August 1, 2025:
Electricity
Fixed usage tariff up 3*35 Ampere : USD 29.63 per month
Fixed usage tariff of 3*50 Ampere : USD 74.20 per month
Pagabon (pre-paid) tariff : USD 0.4492 per kWh
Drinking Water
Fixed usage tariff up to ½ inch : USD 0.00 per month
The adjustment in the fixed usage tariff will be reflected on invoices starting from the consumption period with a start date in August 2025. For pre-paid users (Pagabon), the adjusted tariff will be applied directly as of August 1, 2025.
