There is an explosion of unpaid bills in the energy market.

According to a newspaper report “THE daily”, 45% of consumers now have overdue electricity bills. That figure was 20% before the price rally began last fall.

In total they have accumulated overdue debts of more than one billion euros.

In parallel, more and more consumers they move from provider to provider looking for cheaper tariff. 50 to 60 thousand consumers switch companies every month compared to 20 thousand before the crisis

Furthermore, the figures of the DEDDIE show that the number of those who do not have a contract with a provider due to debts and resort to the so-called Catholic Service has increased significantly. About 35,500 meters were added to this in the second quarter of the year bringing the total to 182,000. It is actually the fifth largest provider.

The swelling of the debts amplifies the pressures of the energy company and as has been warned by RAEis likely to put some of them out of business
