Gas and electricity cost much less than a year ago, but is this reflected in our energy bills? Jean-Philippe Ducart, the spokesperson for Testachats was invited on the set of RTL info 1 p.m. to answer this question.
“There is always a delay effect, depending on whether you have a variable or fixed tariff. Under a variable contract, the reduction can occur after 1 to 3 months, but in the case of a fixed rate, you must necessarily wait until the end of the contract“.
But be careful, this decline is not continuous. “We must also remember that although we are in a period of falling energy prices, this reduction is still relatively limited and there are rebounds. Geopolitical events and conflicts have an impact. We had a rebound at the beginning of September, and we had a rebound at the end of October, beginning of November“.
If you find that your deposit is too high compared to your actual consumption, here is advice from Jean-Philippe Ducart. “It is important to regularly check your bill and your consumption, to use comparators to check that you are still in a contract with a good price plan. If the deposit is really too high in relation to consumption, you must ask the supplier to lower it“.
With this reduction in prices, is it possible to take a fixed contract today? “In recent weeks, there has been a double opportunity. There is the market opportunity where prices would tend to fall and on the other hand, you should know that suppliers are re-offering fixed contracts. It’s insurance for the future, we pay a little more, but we protect ourselves from excessive variations“.
