Faced with the explosion in the price of gas, a condominium in Nice was offered extremely high quotes. She had to vote for an exceptional measure.
Faced with the energy crisis and despite the measures taken by the Government, some owners or tenants find themselves in bizarre situations. This is particularly the case for a group of apartments and villas in Nice. Homeowners were faced with an explosion in their gas bill that forced them to make a drastic decision, reports Capital.
The hundred batches were in fact supplied by gas central heating and under contract with the Russian energy supplier Gazprom. But the invasion of Ukraine and the cut in imports sent prices skyrocketing. To the point that some residents would simply not be able to pay their heating bill this winter. Last year, it had been, for the entire condominium, less than 90,000 euros. In 2022, the proposed quotes ranged between 684,000 and one million euros!

A tariff shield soon to be extended
Thus, a bill of 150 euros for a household would have increased to around 1,000 euros. Faced with this untenable situationthe general meeting of co-owners voted a drastic measure : switch off the heating. This is traditionally restarted on October 15. But it should remain off until January and the next general meeting. Which still promises rigorous months to the inhabitants. For now, the only solution is to bet on electric heaters.
But they could also soon benefit from a tariff shield. The decree implementing it must limit the increase in tariffs to 15%. But initially, the text excluded condominiums with only one collective meter. Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, questioned by the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes Éric Ciotti, has since assured that it would be extended.
