€400m to fight high energy prices

The ruling coalition has allocated €400m to fight high energy prices. The regulated price of natural gas and electricity for households will return to the 2020 level. The government will suspend payments to the NJF, the nuclear fund, for two years (€3.27 per MWh) and will cut access to the grid fee (to be funded by the Environmental Fund). Parliament has already approved the extension and cut in subsidies to photovoltaic power plants.
