Endesa returns and commits to maintain negotiated prices - Economics

This Monday, Endesa pledged to maintain negotiated prices until December and honor commitments set under the Iberian Mechanism, after the company’s president said electricity would rise by 40% this month.

“Endesa is committed to maintaining negotiated prices with its residential customers in Portugal until the end of the year,” reads a clarification released by the company this Monday.

According to the same note, the company will also fulfill the obligations set out in the Portuguese regulatory framework, as well as in the Iberian mechanism.

Endesa President Nuno Ribeiro da Silva said in an interview with Jornal de Negócios and Antena 1 that electricity bills will rise by around 40% in July.

“In particular, from the end of August, but already in the electricity bills for July, people will be in for an unpleasant surprise. […] We are talking about something on the order of 40% or more in relation to what people have paid,” said Nuno Ribeiro da Silva.

According to the electric company, this is a payment for a “gas brake”.

This brake, created for Portugal and Spain, led to a decrease in the price of natural gas used to generate electricity.

Following the statements, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Action released a statement rejecting Nuno Ribeiro da Silva’s statements, calling them “alarmist”.

Secretary of State for Energy João Galamba Luce said it was not possible to see a 40 percent increase in the electricity bill through the Iberian mechanism, citing commercial proposals from the companies themselves.

“Contrary to what President Endesa said, there is no 40% increase. If you are talking about commercial offers from the company itself, only you can say that,” Joao Galamba said Sunday in a statement to Lusa.

For the government, these claims about the Iberian mechanism “do not correspond to reality” because “prices with the mechanism will always be lower than without it.”

Thus, as Joao Galamba noted, linking the price increase to the mechanism “does not make any sense, it is impossible.”

In turn, the Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE) in a statement guaranteed that it would be “especially vigilant” in the behavior of suppliers in relation to the impact on consumers of the Iberian mechanism.

The regulator clarified that the setup costs associated with this mechanism are only paid by consumers who benefit from it, i.e. those with contracts “indexed to the daily market”.

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor.
