## Resource

BPL bills are soaring not because of rate hikes, but because of record-breaking heat—your ACs, fridges, and freezers are working overtime. The Minister of Energy blames the extreme temps, which pushed peak demand three months early. She urges customers to check their usage graphs—if you’re up 30%, that’s the culprit—and offers tips like cleaning filters and raising your thermostat. Blackouts? Blame the heat + ongoing grid upgrades. The government’s still pushing forward with modernization, including LNG, to stabilize costs and keep the lights on.
