Millions of families are excluded from the tariff shield and therefore bear the full brunt of soaring energy prices. These French people heat themselves with collective gas and live in public housing. The government recognizes failures in the implementation of the system and will put in place compensation.

For all French people, gas prices were blocked, except in HLMs and condominiums. After weeks of controversy, the government recognizes failures this morning, February 16. In the process, he announced to extend the tariff shield for five million additional French households.

In a HLM located in Grigny (Essonne), a resident began to worry. “I was at 76 euros and now they have changed me to 120 euros, he said. When we learned that in the social park it was not blocked, (…) we did not understand”, he continues. Complicated to pay such a bill for him. Eventually, his gas bill won’t go up, which is “A very good news” for this resident. Tenants of social housing and condominiums will not have an energy check but a price freeze from October 1, 2021 until June 30, 2022. But the associations fear an increase in the energy price during next summer .
