📈 RISING GAS PRICES
The Energy Regulation Commission (CRE) announced a new gas price increase of 2.25% starting April 1, 2025. This will impact the budgets of over 10 million households.
Each month, CRE sets a benchmark price calculated based on several factors. While suppliers do not apply this price directly, they use it as a reference. When the benchmark rises, supplier prices follow.
