On this charge Each provider “constructs” the final supply price It is also what the customer has to pay.

The special “green” tariff is therefore a large part of the fee They are covered at the base offer price which remains fixed for at least 6 months.

In addition to the basic supply price, in order to obtain the final supply price, any amount resulting from the volatility mechanism (which fluctuates based on the electricity market clearing prices of previous months) is added according to a specific type of calculation.

This results in each provider having the same basic fee on their bill, with the final cost varying according to the profit added by each company, the amount of the changeover mechanism, and the potential discounts they offer, while there is also a fixed fee, but it cannot exceed 5 euros.

The changes relate to all low voltage electricity supplies which are currently subject to monthly rates.

Customers who have fixed invoices or who object at the same time to being included in the special invoice are excluded from this until 1/31/2024. and announce their desire to join another product or stay with the current product as long as it remains commercially available.
