And as we all know, an important, and perhaps vital, part of New Year’s decoration are the series of lights, lamps, reflectors and other products that (literally) fill every room in the house with light.
However, this translates into a considerable increase in our bill to pay for the electricity service. In the case of Mexico, according to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the average cost per kilowatt hour (Kwh) is 0.98 pesos. The more Kwh consumed, the higher the payment recorded on the electricity bill will be.
Considering the above, the data provided by the Electric Energy Saving Trust (FIDE) becomes important, an organization that indicates that a Christmas series lit for 12 hours consumes 1 Kwh, which translates into an expense of 11.76 pesos per day.
The truth is that for this technological “inconvenience”, the answer (ironically) lies in more technology. Right now there are endless gadgets that allow us to control and moderate our energy consumption, and therefore, our spending on the electricity bill.
