German suppliers register for payments from funds under special gas levy
Twelve gas suppliers in Germany have registered claims for payments from funds to be collected under a new gas levy to be charged to consumers between October 1 and March 2024, the country’s gas market operator Trading Hub Europe (THE) said.
The 12 companies, which include Uniper SE, RWE Supply & Trading GmbH and SEFE, the former Gazprom Germania GmbH, have made claims totaling 34 billion euros ($34 billion), according to THE.
“This does not yet represent an audited claim,” the gas market operator noted on Monday. The figure is a forecast — the actual levy passed on by companies to consumers could be higher or lower.
