Electricity will increase from February 1, 2025
For months, the energy sector undergoes various variations. And this is because of external and internal factors.
But from February 1, 2025, a new increase will be effective in the price of electricity. And he is essential to know everything about it.
In this way, it must be understood that the tariff shield will end from this date. However, this will not take into account the tax increase initially planned by the government.
In other words, according to the order of this Saturday, December 28, 2024, the regulated rate will decrease by 14%. But the electricity bill will only drop by 10%.
And still according to the details provided in this document, this tax will automatically rise from February 1 to reach its pre-crisis level. So, it will be 33.70 euros per megawatt hour, while it is currently 22 euros.
Steps to follow
Therefore, to find out if you will be affected by this measure, it is possible to refer to your electricity contract. Therefore, for an Engie customer, you will need to take the most recent invoice and go to the penultimate page.
Once at this stage, you should see the line: “Your energy contract with Engie”. So you have the details of this agreement and if you have the mention “market price”, you will benefit from the 14% reduction.
But that’s not all, because the French who will benefit from this change are also those who have a regulated electricity sales price. Without forgetting that the holders of the “Blue Rate” will also be taken into account.
In total, 20 million citizens will experience lower bills. And for those who are not concerned, we should expect an increase in these.
Therefore, it is possible to avoid this element by turning to other energy suppliers. And this, in particular by comparing the different offers made available to you.
