The Secretary of State explained, in conversation with La Radio, what the reasons are for this increase and explained how it will be carried out.
Recently, the announcement regarding an increase in electricity bills generated a high impact. This is because although it was specified that it will be progressive, its increase will reach up to 60% and its first stage will begin in July of this year.
Regarding this topic, we spoke this Tuesday afternoon with the Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, who was contacted by “It Could Be Worse.” “In 2019, we had a freeze in energy prices and associated services for distribution and transportation,” he began by indicating.
Then, the Secretary of State explained that in recent years, values increased significantly due to “on the one hand inflation and on the other hand the war between Russia and Ukraine“. Continuing with this idea, he stated that this meant a “accumulated debt of the order of two points of GDP that we will have to start paying, along with updating the prices.”
After having detailed these reasons, the Secretary of State asserted that this gradual increase must be accompanied by “a policy of subsidies for vulnerable clients“. Likewise, he said that the first step will be a growth of around 20% in the accounts.
Important debt
Later, the authority said that “we are catching up” and stressed that “although we have been advancing in clean energies, half are fossil energies” and this explains the debt that has been generated in recent years.
Finally, Pardow expressed that “if we had a 100% renewable matrix… an impact of this nature would not have been seen. The countries most dependent on fossil fuels are the ones that were most exposed to this.”
