Since August 1, the price of the gas bottle is displayed at 15 euros at all retailers on the island. It should normally have been 21,93 euros, according to the latest prices calculated by the prefecture, but the exceptional aid announced by the Department and the Region at the beginning of July came into force on that date. The two communities have decided to subsidize the price of the bottle so that it does not exceed 15 euros until the end of the year. He had reached 23,25 euros on June 1st, to go down to 21,88 on July 1. The Department and the Region are ready to inject together and equally up to 10 million euros into the system. The same decision was taken in 2012, when the price of gas soared. The price of the bottle had been maintained at 15 euros for a year.
