France's regulated gas price to rise in October after August market surge
The French energy regulator announced that the reference price for gas will increase on 1 October following higher wholesale prices in August.
The Commission de régulation de l’énergie said the benchmark gas price used by suppliers will be adjusted upward at the start of October. The change reflects a recent rise in wholesale gas market rates observed in August. This reference price guides both the pricing of consumer offers and the comparison of tariffs across providers.
Why it matters
Higher benchmark gas prices will likely increase household energy bills across France.
