As announced by the Economy Minister on Tuesday 22 January, electricity bills will see an increase of around 8.6% to 9.8% from 1 February. A decision that will affect the wallets of households, especially the most common ones.
Faced with this increase, many voices support the revaluation of the “energy check”, which constitutes a significant aid for many French families. On Monday, the General Secretary of the CFDT, Marilis Leon, was on Franceinfo. She thus took advantage of her speech to suggest that ” Targeted assistance » Will be necessary to cope with increase in electricity prices. This assistance may take the form of ” Reevaluation Energy Check or ” targeting » Homes in need, argues Marylees Lyon.
For the General Secretary of the CFDT, the increase in electricity prices in France “is not Not surprising, since we know there was a tariff shield that allowed many fellow citizens to be protected ” However, Meryllis Lyon defends the idea of ” Targeted assistance “for the purpose of” All households that cannot absorb this increase “In the form of energy checks or re-evaluation of targeting, this assistance ensures that ” The shield can remain active for those who need it According to the General Secretary of CFDT, the purchasing power is “ A major cause for concern » Among French workers.
Some organizations are calling for a re-evaluation of the Energy Check
After yesterday’s announcement by Bruno Le Maire, the President of the CLVC Association also said “ A reappraisal of energy audits », which can provide relief to many French households. ” All this is unbearable for many French people who do not have the financial capacity to bear these additional costs. “, he estimated.
A few weeks ago, it was the Foundation Pierre Abbott who called for increased energy audits. Indeed, the association considers this amount of support insufficient to meet household needs, especially with the end of the price shield on gas and the complete disappearance of the price shield on electricity by 2027. As we lower the ship on this shield, if we don’t help the most vulnerable households, we are no closer to getting out of this predicament of energy poverty. », declared Christophe Robert, General Representative of the Foundation.
” Expanding energy checks to reach households that are not currently beneficiaries, but who suffer from these difficulties in being able to heat themselves adequately, and tripling the amount of energy checks “, he also asked.
