Electricity and gas rate rises next month may be higher than expected

Electricity and gas rates are expected to rise more than expected next month.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is reviewing measures to raise the fuel cost adjusted for electricity rates as well as raising the standard fuel cost and city gas rate for next month.

A plan to raise the standard fuel cost linked to the cost of fuel is also being considered for city gas rates.

This is because the fuel cost burden of KEPCO and KOGAS increased due to a surge in international natural gas prices, and the accumulated losses of both companies increased sharply.

However, the government is very concerned because the rate increase can have a big impact on the winter inflation rate.
