Hi,

could you please explain the meaning of "the following" in the sentence below:

The price for the supplied electricity is the following and final price throughout the whole duration of this Contract.

Does it mean "mentioned below"?

Thank you very much.

Re: meaning

I think we need to see further context. It would seem to me to be related to the price of the electricity. Can you expand this?

Re: meaning

Actually, I don´t have any context, but I think it means that the price is stated below.
