French gas reference price expected to rise 6.6% from November

Gas prices in France are expected to rise by 6.6% from 1 November.

With an indexed contract, the price can change, while a fixed-price contract keeps the price steady for the agreed period.

One example in the report shows a gas-heated home’s bill rising from €1,670 in January to €2,410 in November for the same use.

A fixed deal may help households avoid further price rises this winter, but the report does not compare specific offers.
