Understanding APUA Electricity & Water Rates in Antigua
The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) is the statutory monopoly utility provider in the state of Antigua and Barbuda, responsible for generating electricity and supplying potable desalinated water.
1. Electricity Billing Architecture:
- Base Energy Tiers (Residential):
- First 50 kWh: EC$ 0.39 per kWh
- 51 to 300 kWh: EC$ 0.44 per kWh
- Over 300 kWh: EC$ 0.49 per kWh
- Fuel Variation Rate (FVR): Because electricity generation is predominantly diesel- and heavy-fuel-oil-fired, the FVR fluctuates monthly to reflect international crude oil costs. The FVR is multiplied by your total kWh consumption and represents roughly 50% of the total monthly bill.
- Customer Standing Charge: EC$ 15.00 flat monthly connection fee.
2. Potable Desalinated Water:
Antigua has no permanent rivers and relies on seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants. Potable water is billed at approximately EC$ 28.00 per 1,000 imperial gallons plus a monthly meter standing charge of EC$ 10.00.
