In Helmond, gas heating costs for households are projected to increase by approximately 128 euros for the winter period spanning October to March. This rise is slightly below the national average increase of 139 euros per household. Research indicates that total household costs could reach 940 euros, though extreme weather or sustained wholesale prices could drive costs as high as 1,667 euros. Conversely, a mild winter might limit costs to around 996 euros. The surge is attributed to wholesale gas prices rising from roughly 26 euros per megawatt-hour in late 2025 to over 80 euros, alongside an increase in energy taxes on gas of 1.8 cents per cubic meter effective January 1. Contributing factors to these rising costs include lower gas storage levels. To assist low-income households, the Emergency Energy Fund (Noodfonds Energie) is scheduled to open on January 4, offering compensation ranging from 120 to 1,800 euros.
