Bill 8428 (\"Mécanisme compensation 2025\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 4 December 2024.
\nSittings: Sitting of 4 December 2024
\nA motion from David Wagner, co-signed by the LSAP and the Piraten, asking the government to extend all energy price caps for one more year was debated and rejected, and the Chamber then debated and voted bill 8428 financing the negative contribution of the compensation mechanism, which caps the 2025 electricity price rise at 30 per cent with up to 171 million euros of state money; Economy and Energy Minister Lex Delles answered for the government.
\nDavid Wagner (déi Lénk), presenting his motion to extend the energy price cap by one year:
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, datt de Präisdeckel fir d’Energie, deen elo den 31. Dezember soll oflafen, nach ëm ee Joer soll verlängert ginn.
\n
We take the view that the energy price cap, which is due to expire on 31 December, should be extended by another year.
\nSitting of 4 December 2024, David Wagner, déi Lénk
\nJeff Boonen (CSV), arguing that time-limited support measures should be allowed to expire:
\n\n\nAn ech mengen, do ass et wichteg, dass een esou an der Zäit limitéiert Mesüren, wéi dat hei sollt sinn, och auslafe léisst.
\n
I think it is important that measures limited in time, as this one was meant to be, are also allowed to expire.
\nSitting of 4 December 2024, Jeff Boonen, CSV
\nCarole Hartmann (DP), arguing market prices have normalised enough to end the caps on heating fuels:
\n\n\nD’Präisser sinn normal genuch, fir den Energiepräisdeckel, op d’mannst beim Masutt, de Pellets, der Fernwärme an dem Gas, auslafen ze loossen.
\n
Prices are normal enough to let the energy price cap expire, at least for heating oil, pellets, district heating and gas.
