- Either, if there is a state control of the price of energy, it must be on ALL energies.
- Far be it from me to overwhelm the most modest who heat with gas and who could not after 10% increase, no longer pay their gas bill (dixit journalists ... I have some doubts for the vast majority )...But the increase in the price of fossil fuels was predictable on the one hand, And on the other hand is the only method ultimately aimed at forcing savings ... in short, parsimony ! To isolate (for those who can do it), to save CO2 ...
Because there are abuses, in some low-cost housing, as energy is fixed, it is not rare to see thermostats at 25 ° C ... as long as it is "free" ... we are not careful . In electric heating, the same ...
- Controlling upward prices is a means, as for aid and subsidies (which, conversely, keeps high prices for equipment with fossil fuel savings), for the State to keep the market captive ... therefore continue to consume ... almost as before!
It is the policy of the little frog or the gradient in addition to "pro spoken": https://www.econologie.com/forums/strategie- ... 10016.html
In short the debate is launched ...
Here is an article of the day recalling the facts: http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-fin ... -a-45.html
Towards an increase in the price of gas from 4% to 4,5%
A rise in the price of gas between 4% and 4,5% "seems likely to me," said Industry Minister Éric Besson on Sunday. forum from Radio J.
"An increase of between 4% and 4,5% seems likely to me," said Minister of Industry and Energy Eric Besson on Sunday. He told Radio J: "it is subject to arbitration by the Prime Minister", stressing: "He must do it imminently." The price of gas "will reflect supply tariffs, there is no miracle". The Minister of the Economy, François Baroin, had already confirmed, on Saturday evening, the range for the increase in the price of gas on January 1, in the 20 hours newspaper of France 2. Last Tuesday, François Fillon, himself , had given an indication by specifying that the increase would be "much less" than 10%, adding: "I would even wish that it was below half."
Unpopular
The increase to come follows the invalidation at the end of November by the Council of State of the freezing of natural gas prices for individuals, decided in October by Bercy. The government had been failed for not taking into account an official calculation rule, which should have led to an increase ... from 8,8% to 10% of the rates for individuals, in order to reflect changes in GDF Suez supply costs. The Council of State had been seized by competitors of GDF Suez, like Poweo, Direct Energie or Altergaz, who challenged this measure. But GDF Suez had also filed an appeal against this rate freeze, claiming that it did not comply with the laws and regulations in force. A new calculation formula must, however, cushion the shock of such an inevitably unpopular price increase. And annoying a few months before the elections!
