ERSE proposes 1.5% increase for regulated electricity tariff for 2027
The energy regulator (ERSE) has proposed a 1.5% increase in the regulated electricity tariff for 2027 compared to current prices. While the energy component faces pressure from wholesale market price rises due to gas costs, the overall impact on consumer bills is mitigated by a significant reduction (up to 13.7%) in network access tariffs for all consumers, including those in the free market.
Why it matters
If you are among the 780,000 customers in the regulated market, expect a potential tariff increase in 2027, though the proposed reduction in network access fees will benefit all 5.85 million electricity consumers in Portugal.ObservadorRead original ↗
