The fuel oil for production of electricity is going to decrease in the Azores in 15 cents per kilogram, since the 1st January, it decided the Regional Government.
In function of the new lowering, the fuel oil starts being sold in bulk in the infrastructures of the distributing companies at the maximum prices of 31, 33, 36 and 38 cents per kilogram in the islands of S. Miguel, Terceira, Pico and Faial, respectively.
The reduction has to do with the evolution of the oil rate in the international markets.
