Tonga Power Limited-Press Release 17 January 2014.

 Tonga Power Limited wishes to advise the public that the retail price for diesel has increased by 3.00 seniti per litre for January – February 2014. This new price for diesel has been approved by the Tonga Competent Authority.

The new petroleum price for January – February is determined by the movement of the landed cost of diesel in Tonga and the weakening of the Tongan Pa’anga.

Tonga Power Limited is facing significant cyclone related costs to repair the damages to its network in Ha’apai following cyclone Ian. This means that the electricity price in February 2014 may lead to a small increase that Tonga Power cannot absorb.

We will advise the public of the final decision regarding any change to the electricity price.

Thank You,

ONGOONGO TUKU ATU
