If the wholesale prices of energy remain stable and rather low during this period, the prices imposed by suppliers increase very slightly if we compare between the months of June and July.
Only prices should increase again next month because political tensions are impacting the market. “We had a sharp increase following all conflicts in the Middle East. When there was a serenity, the specialists estimated that the risk had gone and therefore the prices fell, “notes Maximes Sonkes, CEO of comparator-energie.be.
Between June and July, on a variable contract, it takes more than 90 euros for electricity and 112 euros for gas. For fixed contracts, an increase of 25 euros for electricity and 190 euros for gas. So should you change your contract?
“Consumers who are variable, that doesn’t change much. For consumers who are at the fixed rate, it is better to block your price before winter at the risk of blocking it at a too high price, ”notes Maxime Sonkes.
For the moment, variable contracts remain the cheapest, but the trend could well reveal in the fall, the period during which the fixed contracts will be more advantageous.
