PPC basic tariff unchanged at 15.5 cents/KWh for July

Power utility PPC, the Greek retail electricity market’s dominant player, has announced an unchanged basic low-voltage tariff for July, resetting its offer at 15.5 cents per KWh for monthly consumption of up to 500 KWh.

It remains unclear – for the first time since subsidies were introduced during the energy crisis – if the state will continue offering consumers cost support next month. The new government to emerge from the general election’s second round of voting this Sunday will decide on the issue.

PPC set a July tariff for monthly low-voltage consumption in excess of 500 KWh at 16.7 cents per KWh.

Ahead of the ongoing general election, the incumbent center-right New Democracy government provided subsidies worth 1.5 cents per KWh for June.

This support reduced PPC’s basic tariff to 14 cents per KWh and the tariff for consumption exceeding 500 KWh to 15.2 cents per KWh.

Based on recent rules introduced during the energy crisis, electricity suppliers are required to announce their tariffs for each forthcoming month by the 20th of every preceding month, the purpose of this demand being to intensify competition.
