SYRIZA states that there are profits to the detriment of consumers and they could be reduced. At the same time he adds that the government is preparing to make another eye on the energy cartel if the provision does not set a profit limit for energy producers.
“The model favored by the government is based on the ex-post subsidy of the accounts with money that the citizens themselves have given to previous accounts”, say in a joint statement the Environmental Departments of SYRIZA-PS, Socrates Famellos and Peti Perka on the occasion of submission of legislation to limit superprofits in the energy market.
In their statement, after emphasizing that the statement “confirms the position of SYRIZA PS that there are super profits to the detriment of consumers and could be reduced”, he adds that “but the government is preparing to make another eye on the energy cartel if the provision does not set a profit to the energy producers and refers the calculation to a Ministerial Decision, while it is already leaked that the Ministerial Decision will leave a large profit margin to the producers.
The legislative regulation must set a maximum profit margin, for example at 5%, as proposed by SYRIZA PS “.
After stating that the government “has not announced how much the super profits have been so far and when they will be returned to consumers” he adds that “the regulation brought by the government last night, once again does not say what will happen to consumers who can not to pay the clause today and therefore risk power outages “.
They go on to say: “The impact of the proposed government regulation will be seen in the accounts from August onwards, because it applies to July consumption and onwards. So, especially for PPC consumers with a 4-month liquidation, high charges will continue for a long time. The reduction of charges will be judged by the HR that will have the profit limits per unit and the subsidy model that the government will choose and manage to implement. “So the phenomenon of high bills will remain for the coming months and the government is not taking any transitional measures to support society, proving its analgesia.”
“The legislation proves that it was finally possible to intervene in the electricity market with profit control but the government did not choose it. energy and will increase fees and bonuses. Even in the “limited investigation” finding of RAE that came to the Parliament, it is proved that, only for 6 months, out of the 927 million euros of surplus profit, 730 million belonged to the PPC of Mr. Stassis, who was appointed by Mr. Mitsotakis. So the citizens will have another priority in the next elections. The Mitsotaki clause will get an answer at the polls! “
