The electricity rate increase for the second quarter has been postponed again. The government and the ruling party held a party-government council meeting on the 11th to decide the extent of the electricity rate hike for the second quarter, but they decided to delay the final decision until after the 12th. Initially, a 7 won increase per kWh (kilowatt-hour) was considered likely, but it is interpreted that the party and government are making last-minute adjustments to the increase rate.
