While Nomisma estimates the possible increases "up to 100% of the price", the interview with Repubblica by the minister of ecological transition, Roberto Cingolani: "Immediately the price cap, or the bills will not go down".

Besseghini (Arera): "Extremely significant variation for consumers"


As regards the electricity bill, strong concern was expressed yesterday by Stefano Besseghini, president of Arera, at the Italian Energy Summit of Sole24 Ore - "We will encounter a change extremely relevant for consumers, in a significant context of variation of the whole system - thus the number one of the Authority, which added that the interventions to protect the most vulnerable consumers "will play a role in trying to mitigate impacts: but with a marginal role because

the growth was important ".

When the Authority wrote on July 29: "Dramatic growth of wholesale energy prices"


On July 29, the Energy Authority had already announced the tariff update scheduled for October 1, writing that "The further dramatic growth in wholesale energy prices, linked to the conflict in Ukraine and the reduction of gas flows practiced by Russia, led the Authority to introduce measures to protect consumers and guarantee continuity of supplies - so wrote the Arera -

from 1 October, with the next tariff update, the method for updating the costs of the gas raw material will change for households that are still in the conditions of protection

Cingolani: "Immediately the price cap, or the bills will not go down"


And on the eve of the expected new

sting

on bills, the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, has returned to the charge on the price cap, urging the EU Commission which tomorrow is called to formalize the his proposals against expensive energy. 


"The letter we wrote represents a boulder, also because it is signed by many countries including some very large such as France, Spain and Poland - so the minister in an interview with Repubblica - if an instance of this level were ignored, we should ask ourselves some questions ".


"But basically

the problem is that the Amsterdam gas exchange just doesn't work

- added Cingolani - the TTF absolutely does not reflect the market situation and the prices are absolutely unnatural: "It is necessary to decouple the price of energy to make sure that at least that produced with renewable sources is disconnected from that of gas".


"We need to introduce the price cap,

I'm not saying to return to the prices of a year and a half ago but at least to avoid certain unacceptable peaks"
