The gas delivery rate, which represents a third of the total household bill, is expected to increase by 30% on July 1, 2024. This corresponds to an increase of 6.3% for customers using gas for heating, and of 11.3% for those who use this fuel for their kitchen or water heater. Proposed by the CRE, these increases must be confirmed by the government.
This is bad news for households who use gas, whether for heating or simply for cooking. The gas delivery rate, which represents a third of the total household bill, is expected to increase by 30% on July 1, 2024. This corresponds to an anticipated increase of 6.3% for customers using gas for heating, and of 11.3% for those who use this fuel for their kitchen or water heater. Estimates which could still be revised upwards, depending on the level of inflation.
This figure was proposed by the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and referenced by Capital at the end of a consultation launched with professionals in the sector who requested an even greater increase due to the decline in the number of gas customers since 2018. MaPrimeRnov’ aid to finance the installation of new gas boilers has also been eliminated. The executive also aims to reduce this type of equipment in our homes by 20% by 2030.
Ultimately, it is the government which will have the last word and will validate, or not, this increase which applies for 3 years, minimum. The amount of Third Party Access to Distribution Networks (ATRD) has not increased for 4 years.
