This is a position that contrasts with that shown by the President of the Republic. Returning from the last UN General Assembly ten days ago, Emmanuel Macron called on companies not to sign the contracts offered by their energy provider: “Right now, sometimes, when you are a small business, a local authority, a social owner, we offer you an electricity price to renegotiate your contracts at crazy prices: don’t sign them today!
His former Minister of Housing Emmanuel Wargon adopts a more moderate speech. Guest of Good Morning Business, the president of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) said:
“If you are around 400-500 euros per megawatt hour for a year…”
Emmanuel Wargon recalled in particular the sources of the complex energy situation in France and, in general, in Europe, which explain the increase in prices. “It is related to a supply crisis, both the gas crisis that we are experiencing with Gazprom and the temporary difficulty of the nuclear power plants in France, he said. There is a form of risk bond in the French market that will be there until all the the reactors have returned. And that makes the prices very high and above all very volatile. As a result, it is more complicated to understand the price that the supplier offers you “.
Thus, he estimated that the rates that range between 400 and 500 euros per megawatt hour for a year correspond to the market price: “Many providers are making a great effort to be transparent and try to protect their customers and make the best possible prices . you should not assume that the provider is necessarily doing something. You just have to look, find out. If you are around 400-500 euros per megawatt hour for a year, that is more or less the market price and there is no reason. expect.”
