0 Small businesses urged to save electricity

Bali’s Office of Cooperative, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is also reminding people employed by SMEs to save electricity in anticipation of the central government’s plan to gradually raise rates by 15 percent this year. “The most immediate impact of this policy will be on SMEs, but I hope it is only temporary,” Dewa Nyoman Patra, the head of the office said. By saving energy, SMEs might be able to keep their operation and production costs steady, according to Dewa. “Usually, SMEs add the [additional] cost to their products, which will in the end affect their customers,” he said.
