In compliance with the mandate of Royal Decree-Law 6/2022, the Ministry has published the announcement of the opening of public consultation of the Proposed Order approving the distribution of the amounts to be financed related to the electricity social bonus, corresponding to the year 2022 .
Currently, the amounts included in the Sixth Transitory Provision of said RDL 6/2022 are applicable, lower compared to the proposals:
Through the proposal, on the one hand, the percentage of distribution of amounts to be financed related to the social bonus and the cost of electricity supply to consumers is set, by activity of the electricity supply chain. The production activity will finance 44.82% of the social bonus, an amount slightly lower than the 48.83% corresponding to supply activity.
On the other hand, the unit values applicable to each subject carrying out the activity are set, which in the case of production amounts to €1.294768/MWh produced (compared to the €1.030790/MWh paid up to now). In this way, the monthly amount to be paid is calculated by applying the unit value to the available measure of month M in month M+1, where M is the month to be settled.
The contributions will be made through the subject of liquidation before the System Operator, who appears as such at the end of each month.
It is a proposal to which arguments can be sent until July 14, 2022.
