Induction cookers will be implemented from August

From August begins the process of replacing gas stoves with electric stoves, says the schedule of the national government.

Alexis Valencia, Secretary of Industrial Development of the Ministry of Industry and Productivity (MIPRO), said that the process will begin with 20,000 artifacts that could be purchased by citizens who require it.

Valencia said that the date for the launch of the replacing process depends on the Ministry of Electricity (MEC), an entity that will inform whether it is this Friday or the 10th of the next month.

Induction cookers will cost between $ 156 and $318; while cookers with oven will cost between $ 585 and $680.
