[HIGHLIGHTS] Electricity production: the Court of Auditors considers that the government tax is “not fair”

The Court of Auditors estimates that the government tax on electricity producers is "not fair" The government was accused in 2022 of not doing enough to fight against the "superprofits" of companies. The yield from the CRI and the increase in royalties from hydroelectric concessions should “not exceed six billion euros for the years 2022 and 2023” The government has so far not reacted to the criticisms of the Court ofAuditors.

The institution suggests to the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Bercy to “propose to Parliament to change the scope and methods of calculating the C RI”
