Helen Announces Increase in Electricity Contract Prices due to Rising Operational Expenses and Exchange Costs

Due to rising balance electricity costs and operational expenses, such as inflation and salary costs, the company has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its exchange electricity contracts. Effective from June 1, the new prices will see a 0.97 euro increase in the basic fee for exchange electricity contracts, bringing it to 3.93 euros per month. Additionally, the margin will be raised by 0.1 c/kWh, increasing it from 0.38 c/kWh to 0.48 c/kWh. These prices include value added tax.

According to Helen, the main reason for the margin increase is the rise in balance electricity costs, while the increase in the basic fee is due to higher operational expenses. The company has calculated that these changes will result in an increase of approximately 1.14 euros per month for residents in typical apartment buildings and around 2.47 euros per month for residents in single-family homes with electric heating.

It is important to note that these prices have been calculated without factoring in any changes in electricity exchange prices, and customers can expect to see an increase in their electricity bills as a result of these price adjustments.
