"The sharp drop in requirements for general charges, the containment of regulated network tariffs and the low prices of raw materials in wholesale markets lead", announces the Energy Authority, for the first quarter of 2020 "to a -5.4% reduction for electricity and a slight adjustment for gas, + 0.8% for the 'typical family in protection' ". In the 12 months from April 2019 to March 2020 "the overall saving for the typical family for electricity and gas is about 125 euros".
"In the first quarter of 2020, electricity bills are down sharply and substantially stable for gas", summarizes Arera. Calculating the effect for the 'typical family', before taxes, indicating that "for electricity, spending in the sliding year (between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020) will be € 544.2, with a variation of -2.9% compared to the 12 equivalent months of the previous year (April 1, 2018 - March 31, 2019), corresponding to a saving of around € 16 / year. In the same period, the expenditure for the gas bill it will be around € 1,040, with a variation of -9.5% compared to the equivalent 12 months of the previous year, corresponding to a saving of around € 109 / year. Compared to the sliding year, therefore, the overall savings for the family type for electricity and gas is around € 125 / year "" Today's data - comments the president of Arera, Stefano Besseghini - confirm the correctness of the choices made in the past. The progressive reform approach has made it possible to avoid repercussions on consumers, despite the unchanged difficulty of having to manage one important para-fiscal component in the composition of the tariff ".
