The company has announced that it will be raising the prices of its exchange electricity contracts due to rising balance electricity costs and operational expenses. Effective from June 1, the basic fee for exchange electricity contracts will increase by 0.97 euros, bringing it to 3.93 euros per month. Additionally, the margin will be raised by 0.1 c/kWh, increasing it from 0.38 c/kWh to 0.48 c/kWh. These prices include value added tax.
According to Helen, the reason for the margin increase is primarily the rise in balance electricity costs, while the increase in the basic fee is attributed to higher operational expenses such as inflation and salary costs. The company has calculated that these changes will lead to an increase of approximately 1.14 euros per month for residents in typical apartment buildings and around 2.47 euros per month for residents in single-family homes with electric heating.
It is important to note that the prices published by Helen have been calculated without factoring in any changes in the electricity exchange prices. As a result, customers can expect to see an increase in their electricity bills as a result of these price adjustments.
Helen stated that they understand how difficult this news may be for their customers and are working on finding ways to mitigate any negative impact on their finances.
In conclusion, Helen has announced an increase in prices of its exchange electricity contracts due to rising balance electricity costs and operational expenses. Customers can expect an increase of approximately 1.14 euros per month for residents in typical apartment buildings and around 2.47 euros per month for residents in single-family homes with electric heating. It’s important for customers to keep this information in mind when managing their finances and budget accordingly
