GRTU has written to MRA CEO following complaints we have received from numerous enterprises, members of the GRTU, that they have received bills covering 6 months of operation instead of the usual 2 months.
GRTU has first of all asked the CEO to confirm or otherwise whether this is true. If this is we also requested to know whether this was done with the approval of the MRA and whether an economic impact assessment measuring the impact on households` disposable income and on the general private consumption was effected. .
GRTU finally requested to know what remedial action has MRA taken to ensure that Enemalta/Arms Ltd takes into consideration these issues and not operate in complete disregard of the commercial community.
Members have complained that not only have they themselves been tremendously shocked when they received their electricity bills but they have noticed a drop in spending from the time it was heard that the bills were going to be received. The MRA CEO has so far acknowledged receipt of our mail and said it would be followed up and we would be informed accordingly
