Conscientious PPC clients to see 15 pct reduction in power bills

Customers of the state-owned Public Power Corporation who have been conscientious about paying their bills on time will be awarded a discount of 15 percent on their bills as of July 1, PPC President Manolis Panagiotakis told Parliament on Tuesday.

Panagiotakis said the measure, aimed at encouraging prompt payment, will apply for household as well as corporate customers.

He said that conscientious clients are considered those that pay their bills before their expiry date or keep up with payments if they have an arrangement of installments to settle arrears.

The head of the corporation said he will table his proposal to the PPC board next week and is confident the discount will apply as of July 1.
