The Minister of Environment and Energy, Costas Skrekas, explained through SKAI what will happen to the gas and electricity bills.
As the Minister pointed out for the beneficiaries of social tariff, beneficiaries of social solidarity allowance, there are no power outages in the heart of winter.
“We have also created an emergency number of energy solidarity, in 15902 where anyone who is in absolute financial difficulty and their electricity is reconnected,” he reminded.
Mr. Skrekas explained that the State pays the cost of reconnection and repays the overdue debts up to 6,000 euros, 100% of the overdue debts and from there on a percentage of the older debts.
Asked about the fact that SYRIZA is requesting a reduction of the Special Consumption Tax on fuel, he clarified that “the VAT on natural gas is just 1 euro per megawatt hour, we subsidize with 20 euros, that is 20 times more than the EFK and an additional 20 euros more is given by DEPA Gas, so 40 euros more discount “. In electricity, he added, the EFK is only 5 euros, when we subsidize the megawatt hour with 150 euros.
Mr. Skrekas spoke about the slight de-escalation in the energy markets “snapshot”emphasizing that no one knows what will happen.
