The Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) proposes to the Ministers of Energy and the Economy to increase the regulated tariffs for the sale of electricity (TRVE) by 0.48% for blue residential tariffs and by 0 , 38% for professional blue rates, according to a press release.
This increase would represent around 4 euros per year on the bill of a residential customer and 6 euros for a professional.
Catching up tariffs
According to CRE, it reflects in particular the increase in the transmission component after the entry into force of the new tariff for the use of public electricity networks.
The increase also takes into account a reassessment of the catching up of tariffs linked to amounts not covered in 2019, the government having then decided to freeze the increases.
Regulated tariffs are set by the government on a proposal from CRE on the basis of numerous parameters (supply costs, transmission, distribution, various taxes, etc.).
