electricity
The price of electricity will rise by 3.7% during the month of January in the regulated market compared to the month of December.

Gas
Natural gas tariffs for households in the regulated market rose by 0.6% in October, compared to prices charged in September.
Compared to the average gas price in the previous year (2022-2023), consumers in the regulated market experienced an average rise of 1.3% in the final selling price.
Rentals
Rents will be updated by 6.94% in 2024, the highest value since 1994, with the increase partly mitigated by enhanced tenant subsidies and the portion of rents the IRS can reduce.

fees
Toll prices are expected to increase by 2.04%, which is equivalent to less than half of the increase recorded in 2023.
