While summer is approaching, energy consumers in France must prepare for significant changes on their invoices. As of July 1, the gaspe de gas will experience a significant increase, while the regulated electricity rate should experience a slight decrease from August 1. These tariff fluctuations, announced by the energy regulation commission, will have a direct impact on the household budget. It is essential to understand the reasons and consequences of these adjustments to better manage your energy expenses.
Gas increases by 6%
The rise in gas prices, formalized by the energy regulation commission on June 18, is mainly due to the increase in the “routing rate”. This price, which finances the maintenance of the network by GRDF, constitutes approximately a quarter of the total gas bill. Concretely, the cost of the gas subscription will drop from 277 to 290 eurosmarking an increase of 6%. Although the price per kilowatt hour has dropped slightly, going from € 0.11/kWh to € 0.108, this reduction is not enough to compensate for the overall increase. Consumers must therefore expect to see their gas bills increase in the coming months.

This increase intervenes in a context where global gas courses had however experienced a slight decline in June. However, the costs of routing and maintenance of the network continue to weigh heavily on the prices imposed on consumers. It is therefore crucial for households to prepare for these adjustments and to anticipate their energy expenses.
Good news for households: the price of gas tumbles in June and significantly lightens the energy bill
Electricity: the regulated rate drops again
Good news for subscribers at the regulated electricity rate: a drop is again planned. Last February, this price had already decreased by 15%, and the energy regulation commission proposed to maintain it at a stable level during the revision of August 1. The proposed drop is -0.34%which, for an average consumption of 4.4 MWh per year, would result in a reduction in the bill from 1,050 to 1,046 euros including tax.
This evolution results from several tariff adjustments. On the one hand, VAT on electricity subscriptions has been increased, from 5.5 to 20%. On the other hand, the drop in the excise, which goes from € 33.70/MWh to € 29.98/MWh, counterbalances this increase. In addition, the rate of use of public electricity electrical networks (Turpe) also falls. These changes keep the electricity bill at an affordable level for French households.
Understand the impact on household budgets
The pricing changes announced for gas and electricity will have direct implications for household budgets. While the increase in the gas rate represents a financial challenge, the drop in the electricity rate offers a welcome respite. For many, these adjustments mean the need to reassess their energy consumption and seek solutions to reduce their expenses.
For example, investing in more effective household appliances or opt for thermal insulation solutions can help reduce energy consumption. Households must therefore be proactive and informed to navigate in this changing energy landscape. The key is planning and proactive consumption management to mitigate the impact of these tariff increases.
Summary table of pricing developments
| Energy | Pricing | Expected impact |
|---|---|---|
| Gaz | 6% increase | Subscription cost from 277 to 290 euros |
| Electricity | Drop of -0.34% | Invoice from 1,050 to 1,046 euros including tax |
While pricing changes are looming on the horizon, it becomes essential for consumers to remain informed and adapt their consumption strategies. The increase in the price of gas and the drop in the electricity rate are clear signals of the evolution of the energy market. How will French households react to these adjustments, and what measures will they adopt to optimize their energy consumption?
