Three scales

The minister reiterated that electricity bills will continue to absorb 90% to 94% of the increase and that households will be supported regardless of income and whether it is primary or non-primary residence.

He explained that the new support mechanism will have three scales with a larger percentage of households in the first scale and households with higher consumption in the second and third scales.

“There we will give the opportunity to those with increased consumption, if they reduce their energy consumption by 15%, when the bill comes in, they will receive an additional subsidy that will come to the bill from their supplier,” he said characteristically.

As for natural gas, Mr. Skrekas stressed that the support will be such as to make the price more affordable, but by no means the same as it was before the crisis, as the price has increased by 7-10 times in a year and a half.
