What I am seeing at the moment is companies putting up their prices by significant amounts - €200 or €250 on average per year - and are actually blaming infrastructure costs for those prices. I will read from Energia's website. It said it was putting up its prices on 9 October. It said that it worked to minimise the impact on customers and that these price changes are unavoidable due to ongoing substantial increases in electricity system operator and network charges. It said that these regulatory approved non-energy charges that are applied to electricity suppliers are required to cover the costs of ensuring security of supply. Its prices are going up by an average of €200, which is way beyond the cost the CRU is incurring. Does the commission have concerns that energy companies are using the CRU's decision to essentially put up prices for households all across the country? Is this something the CRU can raise with the energy companies because what is presented on that website is misinformation?
