In today’s episode of Consumers Talk, we explore how rising electricity tariffs are impacting small businesses across various industries.

Today’s episode offers an honest look at the daily struggles faced by small business owners trying to survive in a challenging economy. Through their stories, we gain insight into how rising tariffs are not just affecting their profits but also their ability to grow and thrive. These insights call attention to the pressing need for supportive policies that help small businesses remain competitive and resilient amidst mounting operational costs.
