The announced increase in electricity bills from February 1 has not failed to provoke a reaction from the UFC-Que Choisir, which condemns the decision unrelated to the cost of energy production in France, and highlights We are already warning of dramatic consequences. Revaluation of prices on houses.
Through a press release published on its site on Friday 12 January, the consumer association UFC-Que Choisir spoke out against the announced increase in electricity bills for the year 2024, the first of which should take place on 1 February. Next. “UFC-Que Choisir today denounces the possibility of a new increase in electricity prices of 10% on February 1, without linking it to the real cost of electricity production in France, and worries about its dramatic consequences on households,”
she warns.Noting that the revaluation of 30% in two years, which severely affects the purchasing power of households, has already passed the regulated prices for sale of electricity, it is now seeking a compromise and a reassuring decision. For the new Prime Minister “Show your willingness to work to maintain consumer purchasing power”. To do this, UFC-Que Choisir asks Gabriel Atal “Stabilize the increase in regular electricity sales price, or at least limit it, so that it does not exceed 2.5%, i.e. expected inflation in 2024”
As estimated by Banque de France.With supporting figures, the association points out that with the new 10% increase estimated by the Energy Regulation Commission (CRE) from 1 February, the average annual household bill in the regulated tariff (TRVE) will increase to around 2,235 euros. 1,604 euros a year ago, an increase of 39.3%. A rate that equates to a loss of purchasing power of around 630 euros. Amputation may also be reached and “More than 1,000 euros for residents of particularly energy-intensive thermal sieves”When at this moment “Many households today give up heating due to electricity prices or have to choose between heating and eating”Warns the association.
The latter supports his request to Gabriel Attal on at least three titles that this increase in taxation entails “inappropriate”. UFC-Que Choisir first specifically mentions the general context of unfair inflation. In addition, increase “All would be less explicable as the pricing of TRVE by CRE already allows significant savings to the government”, seeks organization. She also sees the increase as a countermeasure “disgusting” with “Government’s energy policy aims at massive electrification of utilities”.
