Overview
- The CRE outlined an average 0.8% decrease from February 1, worth about €9 a year for a household using 4.5 MWh.
- Roughly 19.75 million households on the regulated tariff and about 4 million on similar offers would be affected, according to Emmanuelle Wargon.
- The small change stems from offsetting factors including lower wholesale costs smoothed over two years, the end of ARENH, stable network charges, and tax adjustments with a lower CTA and a slightly higher excise.
- Tariffs remain about 20% above 2021 levels, partly due to the nuclear transfer price rising to €60/MWh from €42 to support EDF investments and reactor life extensions.
- The Conseil supérieur de l’énergie will be consulted next, after which Energy Minister Roland Lescure is expected to set the final tariff.
