<. p> A scenario emerges with declining electricity offset by higher gas prices and fuel.

The CSPE better distributed? According to the JDD, the “government is planning a reform of the tax that finances renewable energy and social tariffs for the most modest”, called Contribution to loads of public electricity Service (CSPE). This tax, levied on the invoice of more than 30 million French electricity subscribers, representing nearly 15% of their bill and increases of approximately 2.5% per year. This is in addition to the increases programmed as that of 2.5% from 1 August. For the government, the aim would be to broaden the scope of this tax to other carbon energies such as gas and petrol

Two options would be considered. The first is to allocate the tax between the gas and electricity. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the electricity bill could then fall by 7%, but users of the gas could be seriously contribution because they are only 10 million.

The other track would be to spread the tax between electricity, gas and fuels. There, it would reduce the electricity bill by 10%, to moderate the rise in gas prices and to significantly increase the fuel bill. While a liter of Super 95 is already taxed at 61.9% and the liter of diesel to 56.2%, motorists would see their bills rise immediately with this new contribution. Currently, depending on the site Carbeo, the price per liter of diesel is on average 1.176 Euro and the Super 95 to 1.43 Euro per liter. The government relies on the continued decline in oil prices to pass this reform. It is true that in one year the price of a liter of diesel oil lost 13 cents and 9.2 cents for the Super.

The quadrupling of the “carbon tax”. Unless another fee may weigh even more heavily on fuel prices. The National Assembly has voted the principle of quadrupling by 2030, the climate-energy contribution or “carbon tax”. Next year, it should already spend 14.50 euros per tonne of CO2 to 22 euros. While currently represents 4 cents per liter for diesel and 3.4 cents per liter for Super, it will increase by 2 cents for diesel and 1.7 cents for gasoline. The “carbon tax” then move to 56 euros per tonne in 2022, synonymous with an increase of 9 cents per liter for diesel and 7 cents for gasoline. Before rising to 100 euros per tonne in 2030 … Fill his car could become a luxury.
