(MENAFN) Nearly 3,000 vulnerable households in the Belgian district of Hainaut could shortly deal with increased energy bills as firms have weakened supply service at the “social energy rate,” media reports stated at Tuesday.
Four public field housing firms in the province cautioned that tenants could not be capable to enjoy the social tariff for energy in a few weeks because of a deficiency of providers.
"No supplier has submitted a bid. It seems they don't want to supply energy at this rate. However, our tenants in these buildings are entitled to the social tariff," the firms mentioned in an announcement.
The housing firms whose gas and electricity provide deals with energy providers expire at the end of this year are presently seeking for an energy provider.
The firms fear a "multiplier effect" on the surge in energy prices for tenants as well as on ancillary expenses that might raise rent.
The supervisory experts, the Association of Walloon Cities and Municipalities and relevant regional as well as federal ministers were told around the unusual condition, as said by the firms.
