Get Ready for Cheaper Gas Bills! 💸
Drop in Gas Prices Beginning June 1st: Estimated Savings on Your Fuel Bill
Here's some exciting news for your wallet: Gas bills are gonna be less expensive starting next month! The Energy Regulation Commission (CRE) has made the official announcement of a 5.3% decrease in gas prices as of June 1st, 2025.
Following a 6.4% drop in May, this new reduction brings the average gas price down to 0.1100 euro per kWh TTC for households utilizing gas. That means for a standard yearly consumption of 11,200 kWh, the average gas bill for households heated by gas will plummet from €1,579 in May to around €1,510, translating to an annual savings of €69! So far, we've saved €158 this year. Hooray for lighter bills! 🎉
Keep in mind, this decrease only applies to households with gas contracts tied to indexed prices, as per online comparator Selectra. These contracts adjust to the CRE's monthly gas reference price, reflecting tariff variations.

But wait, not every gas-heated household will see the benefits of this drop. Approximately 66% of contracts in France are fixed-rate offers, meaning they won't reflect this June's decrease as long as the contract is active. To enjoy the lower pricing, consider switching to an indexed offer.

Extra Insights:
As of the data available up to May 2025, changes in gas prices for French households starting June 1st, 2025, have not been made official. In the past, an 11.7% increase in gas prices has occurred, raising the average annual household bill from €1,060 to €1,184[2]. Despite earlier mentions of gas price reductions, there's no specific information available for the June 1st drop.
Those with lower incomes or receiving government assistance might benefit more from any reductions in energy costs, but without specific information for the June 1st drop, it's hard to determine who exactly would see savings. Additionally, initiatives like the Prime d’activité, which provides aid to eligible workers, may indirectly assist households with managing energy costs[1].
- With the upcoming decrease in gas prices, it's worth considering switching to an indexed offer in personal-finance management to capitalize on the savings, as most fixed-rate contracts in the energy industry won't reflect this change until they expire.
- In light of the fluctuating gas prices in the industry, keeping a close watch on changes, such as the 5.3% decrease announced for June 1st, 2025, can help households better manage their personal-finance budgets by potentially minimizing gas bills and associated costs.
