The Antigua Public Utilities Authority is urging households and businesses to conserve electricity as international fuel prices and local consumption continue to increase.
Acting Financial Controller Sabrina Benjamin said customers must consider whether their household finances can support changing consumption patterns.
She encouraged people to monitor air-conditioning use, switch off appliances when they are not needed and become more familiar with the information displayed on their utility bills.
Electricity Business Unit Manager Andre Matthias said high temperatures have caused many people to use air conditioners more frequently and for longer periods.
