A Galp or to descend energy consumption tariffs from January 1, 2026, on 4% in electricity and 14% in natural gasfollowing the reduction in markets, according to the company told Lusa.
Official source from Galp said that it will update electricity and natural gas prices, with average drops of 4% and 14%, respectively, in terms of marketer (fixed term and energy), that is, in the installments of the invoice that depend on it.
This decision, he explained, “follows the reduction in energy prices in the markets” and will take effect from the beginning of January.
Taking into account that the electricity tariff proposal of the Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE) for 2026 foresees an average increase of 3% for the update of network access tariffs – the final value will be published by December 15th -, Galp’s estimates are that the real impact is an average decrease of around 1% on the final electricity bill, which corresponds to a average reduction of 30 cents.
In the case of the gas natural, the reductions communicated by the company already include the current network access tariffs, which do not change in January (the gas year does not correspond to the calendar year), fully maintaining the 14% decrease that corresponds to a average reduction of 2.84 euros on the monthly invoice.
This announcement from Galp joins the one from EDP, which a week ago informed its customers that prices will fall next year. From January 1, 2026, the Energy and Commercial Operation component will be 4% cheaper.
