France will end its electricity price shield on February 1, 2025, but without the tax increase initially planned by the government, according to a decree published on December 28. This decision enables a projected 14% reduction in regulated tariffs for households, reflecting a market price decrease. The previous administration, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, had proposed an increase in tax to address public deficit concerns, but that plan was abandoned in late November to placate parliamentary opposition.
