Electricity tariffs in Greece are soaring with the special or green tariffs increasing by up to 62% in Dec. compared to prices in Nov. Providers were prompted to raise the tariffs in Dec. due to a surge in the wholesale market last month.
Electricity providers have updated their websites with the new rates for special or green electricity tariffs, according to which household consumers will see significant increases; competitive charges ranging from 0.15499 euros per kWh to 0.1993 euros per kWh.
In an attempt to alleviate the economic burden on citizens, the Ministry of Environment and Energy plans to offer subsidies for electricity bills. Initially, these will apply to household consumers for December’s consumption. Professional electricity tariffs will also be subsidized, with a platform being set up for businesses to submit applications.
