In recent days, Vélez is suffering from the chainsaw of Javier Milei’s government in its own treasury: for the three properties it has, it went from paying an electricity bill of 11 million pesos in February to 35 million in March and 41 in April. A variation that the treasury calculates at 302%, a percentage similar to that of other Primera, Ascenso and, those that suffer the most, neighborhood clubs, which are beginning to get together to demand a differential rate that allows them to sustain their activities. .
Invoices from Edesur and Edenor arrive in the Liniers treasury. It had to pay the first energy distribution company, for the stadium and the sports city, 35,988,502 pesos in April, when in February it had paid 9,560,139. To the second, for the Ituzaingó Olympic village, he had to pay 1,459,720 pesos in February, but 5,574,894 in April. If it’s not a great rate, what is it?
The reality of Vélez, with very high numbers that reflect the level of social activity and the number of square meters that the club has, has its correlation in other clubs, which, as happens in businesses, factories and homes, are also suffering skyrocketing increases in energy rates.
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
Argentinos Juniors paid Edesur for the consumption of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium 592,137 pesos in February, 2,537,330 in March and 2,749,600 in April. And Edenor, for the Malvinas Argentinas microstadium, where music recitals usually take place weekly, went from paying 784 thousand pesos in February to more than 2 and a half million in April.
San Lorenzo has seven customer numbers and seven locations for which Edesur bills electricity consumption: Avenida La Plata 1782, 1702 and 1794; the Pando Sports Center; Muñiz 1698; the Sports City and Varela Avenue. Overall, in February, the treasury spent 9,070,981 pesos. In March, that amount rose to 21,782,978, a variation of 140%, which will continue to grow in April.
In Ferro, whose team plays in the Primera Nacional but is one of the clubs with the most social activity in the City of Buenos Aires, the numbers also generated panic: Edesur’s last bill exceeded 8 million pesos, when until February it ranged between the 2 and 3 million.
Racing is close to that last number now, in April: the last invoice that arrived was 3,298,925. A low figure for the magnitude that Cilindro and the Avellaneda property represent, especially when compared to other clubs with similar characteristics. But that bill has an explanation: in 2021, Racing inaugurated an Edesur electrical substation, built as part of Stage Zero of the remodeling and enhancement of the Cylinder.
“The work, carried out with the club’s own funds and located at the entrances to the Corbatta Passage, has enormous value: it will allow the provision of a service with significant savings (estimated at 40%), with clean electrical energy and without the impact environmental that derived from the use of obsolete technology,” Racing reported that year. Time, at least for the bills that are reaching all the clubs, is proving him right.
