2,785.55 euros: average annual bill for a new gas contract rises to the highest level ever in July

The increase comes after several months of declines and despite the VAT reduction on natural gas. The figures only take into account who has to enter the commercial market in July. This concerns the estimated annual price from July 2022 to June 2023. Those with a social rate, for example, pay much less.

Electricity prices are also rising again after several months of declines. The estimated annual price for an average family that has to enter the commercial market in July increases to 1,633.40 euros, compared to 1,552.39 euros in June. This is the highest estimated annual bill since April. The increase in the electricity bill is also a result of electricity becoming more expensive on the wholesale market, in line with gas prices.
