Nv Gebe Provides Transparency about Fuel Clause Mechanism

NV GEBE has issued a clarification regarding the fuel clause appearing on May 2026 electricity bills for customers in St. Maarten. The utility explained that the clause incorporates fluctuations in international fuel prices, which directly impact power generation costs, with data supplied monthly by SOL Antilles N.V. NV GEBE emphasized that this mechanism is not new, its calculation method has not changed, and it has been part of the government-approved tariff structure for over 15 years. The fuel clause functions as a cost-reflective pass-through mechanism for actual fuel expenses using an established, unchanged formula.
