Faster cuts to energy duties when prices spike
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot wijziging van de programmawet van 27 december 2004 betreffende de versterking van het prijsbeschermingsmechanisme voor gas en elektriciteit.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The proposal updates the existing protection system so that excise duties on gas and electricity decrease faster and more substantially when market prices surge.
- Households with standard consumption of natural gas (up to 12 MWh per year) and electricity (up to 3 MWh per year) will notice this.
- If energy prices spike sharply again, you will pay lower federal duties and your energy bills will rise less severely.
