내년부터 전기요금 유가따라 달라진다…연료비 연동제 도입

Starting from next year, electricity bills will be restructured so that rises and falls in fuel prices are passed on to consumers.
The Energy Ministry and Korea Electric Power Corporation announced the new billing system on Thursday.
Consumers are expected to initially benefit from the new billing system as oil prices are low at the moment.
The environmental cost of power generation will also be factored into electricity bills.
The government hopes this change will help raise awareness of the need to transition to environmentally-friendly energy sources.
