The Pancyprian Union of Consumers and Quality of Life calls for an immediate reduction in the price of electricity and hopes this will be the result of the announced meeting at the Presidential Palace on the issue, next Friday.
In a statement, it said that the increases in fuel and electricity have led to horizontal and uncontrolled increases in food, essentials, construction and services and accused the relevant state agencies of being unable to control and crack down on obscenity.
In the statement, the Union calls on RAEK to reduce the purchase price of RES energy produced by AHK, close to the originally calculated amount of 6 cents per kilowatt hour and not 11 cents and considers that it should be decided to tax windfall profits of RES companies at a high rate (90% was done in Greece and other countries) and the amount collected should be returned to the consumers of AHK with an immediate and proportional reduction of its charges.
On pollutants, it says that the unacceptable and unconstitutional imposition and VAT should be abolished and the amounts returned by the EU to the government should be used transparently and targeted for the most part to help vulnerable consumers.
It also calls for the introduction and use of natural gas by AHK to be accelerated.
