Despite an almost 10% increase in electricity prices since February 1, are French households still in a privileged position compared to their European neighbors? “In France, energy bills will remain among the lowest in Europe,” said Bruno Le Maire, the economy minister, on Sunday, January 21, after an interview with the 20 Heures program on TF1. Over the past three years, prices have smoothed out, and in other European countries they have literally skyrocketed, sometimes even doubling. »
The rest after this announcement
If the Minister of Economy, who has just taken over the energy portfolio, is generally right, then some clarification is still needed. Firstly, the new increase, scheduled for February 1, comes against the backdrop of falling prices on the wholesale markets. But the state decided it was time to increase the tax (TICFE, or domestic tax on final consumption of electricity) by two-thirds and reduce it to a minimum in February 2022 as part of the tariff shield.
