As of today, Friday, April 21, the government initiative came into effect “Basket of Energy”, according to which the tariffs of natural gas and electricity providers are posted on the electronic platform e-katanalotis.

As noted in an announcement by the Ministry of Development and Investments, according to the data so far, in the months of March – April there was an average decrease of 7% in tariffs, including state subsidies from the Energy Transition Fund.

The Minister of Development and Investments Adonis Georgiadis said:

“The presentation of the “Energy Basket” has started on e-Consumer. In particular, we have uploaded in a comparative table the prices of electricity providers for household tariffs for the months March-Aprilwhere very serious reductions in electricity prices per company are recorded, and you can also see the companies in comparison with each other.”

“For the prices of the month of May, where there seems to be a stabilization, and also a slight reduction in prices, we will have the final announcement after the state subsidy decided by the Ministry of Environment and Energy” added the minister.

For his part, Deputy Minister Nikos Papathanasis emphasized: “The e-Consumer application is the only government application in Europe, with which we can receive the data from all the elements that supermarkets have in real time. Now consumers will also be able to find the tariffs that the electricity providers have – over 16 companies, and over 43 contracts, they will be able to compare monthly and choose the best offer. In this way competition develops and of course, each and everyone will be able to change providers, choosing the cheapest price without any additional costs”.
