September 14, 2021 The 40% increase in electricity bills starting from October 1, announced yesterday by the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, "would be lethal for families and businesses. For a typical family it would be equivalent to 247 euros on an annual basis" .

Marco Vignola, energy manager of the National Consumers Union, says this in a statement.   



"The Government and the Parliament must immediately remedy - adds Vignola -, deciding to allocate the proceeds from the market auctions of CO2 emission permits to lower bills, eliminating the system costs that are now outdated, such as those for securing of nuclear power or tariff concessions recognized for the railway sector, shifting the others to general taxation, such as incentives for renewable sources, which now instead end up on the invoice ".
