Non-vulnerable users who will still find themselves in the electricity protection market on 1 July 2024, and will not choose a free market operator, will have average advantages of up to 20% compared to the tariffs that will be charged to vulnerable customers, and even up to 60% compared at the average prices charged today on the free market.
These are the forecasts of Consumerismo No Profit and Assium, association of Utility Managers operating in the energy sector, on the eve of the dissemination, by Acquirente Unico, of the names of the winners of the auctions for electricity suppliers to users who will exit the protected market on 1/0 July.
By tomorrow, Consumerismo No Profit and Assium remind us, the definitive outcome of the winners of the 26 lots into which the country has been divided will be known to grab the 4.5 million (for now) customers who are on the protected electricity market and who from next July 1st, the date of the end of the greater protection regime for light, they will not yet have chosen a supplier on the free market.
According to the forecasts of the two associations, as a result of the auctions, an average family with consumption of up to 2,750 kW per year, if it decides to remain in the gradual protection service, will find itself paying a bill of around 548 euros in the first year, the equivalent of spending in 2020 , i.e. 25.4% less than the average expenditure in 2024 at the current rates of the protected market (735.30 euros), with an estimated saving of 187 euros per year.
According to Assium analysts, on the electricity bill front, in the 36 months of existence of the gradual protection service that will follow the end of the protected electricity market, there should be more convenient tariffs compared to the current market prices, but it will be necessary to wait for the official outcome of the auctions.
The average expenditure per family in 2020 was 533.45 euros, in 2021 it was 684.18 euros, in 2022 it was 1,381.52 euros, in 2023 it was 928.28 euros.
