Helen Electricity Company Announces Margin and Basic Fee Increase: What Customers Need to Know

Helen, an energy company, has announced that they will be raising the price of their exchange electricity contracts due to a number of factors. The new prices, effective from June 1st, will see the basic fee for exchange electricity contracts go up by 0.97 euros per month, with the margin also increasing by 0.1 c/kWh. This will bring the margin from 0.38 c/kWh to 0.48 c/kWh. These prices include value-added tax.

The company has attributed the margin increase to rising balance electricity costs, while the increase in the basic fee is explained by inflation and salary expenses. Helen has estimated that these changes will result in an approximate increase of 1.14 euros per month for residents of a typical apartment building, and around 2.47 euros per month for residents of a single-family house with electric heating.

However, it’s important to note that these calculations do not take into account the impact of electricity exchange prices, which may also affect the final cost for consumers. According to Helen, they are justifying these price increases based on the need to cover rising operational costs and balance electricity expenses in order to maintain a sustainable business model and provide quality service to their customers.
