Japón estudia subsidios para la electricidad y el gas natural ante la subida de precios derivada del conflicto en Irán

El gobierno japonés evalúa implementar subsidios para la electricidad y el gas natural este verano, tras haber aplicado medidas similares para la gasolina. Se espera que los costes energéticos aumenten alrededor de junio debido al impacto del conflicto en Irán sobre los precios.

El gobierno de Japón está considerando conceder subsidios para aliviar los costes de la electricidad y el gas natural durante el próximo periodo estival. Esta medida se suma a los subsidios a la gasolina introducidos en marzo, cuando el precio medio minorista nacional superó los 190 yenes por litro. Se prevé que las tarifas de electricidad y gas natural comiencen a subir alrededor de junio como consecuencia del incremento de los precios del crudo y del gas natural licuado. El repunte de los precios está relacionado con el conflicto en curso en Irán. Las autoridades aún no han detallado el alcance ni el calendario de las posibles medidas de apoyo.
