U.S. troops paying less for electricity than S. Korean forces

SEOUL, Oct. 22 (Yonhap) -- U.S. troops stationed in South Korea are paying less for electricity than South Korean armed forces, a lawmaker said Monday.

Rep. Im Jong-in said United States Forces Korea (USFK) paid an average 74.61 won per kilowatt hour in 2006, while South Korean troops paid general power prices of 97.91 won per kilowatt hour. General prices cover all power use except industrial facilities and homes.
