IRC Approves New Electricity Tariff Rate for Dominica Electricity Services

The Independent Regulatory Commission approved a new electricity tariff rate for Dominica Electricity Services Ltd (DOMLEC) on October 7, 2026. DOMLEC, the sole electricity supplier on the island, announced the new tariff structure will begin on November 1, 2026. The approval allows DOMLEC to address operational needs, noting that the last tariff review occurred in 2007, despite a mandated three-year review. The new structure includes lower rates during off-peak periods.

The tariff change is critical to DOMLEC’s ability to provide reliable and quality electricity service to customers. The approval allows the company to adjust fixed charges for operations and maintenance, which had not been adjusted since 2007, helping to offset inflation.
