ensure their installation in time for the festive holidays.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, the Notes quote the Electricity Manager as saying that electricity rates in Antigua and Barbuda are the lowest in the Caribbean,\u00a0except for Trinidad &amp; Tobago, an oil-producing country where the cost of energy is low.<\/p>\n<p>However, citizens and residents continue to contend that the electricity rates are too high. \u00a0One woman says her bill averages about $600 monthly, although she has only the usual appliances \u2013 a fridge, washing machine and television set, which is hardly used, because
