(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 20 - "It will be important to measure the numbers that are emerging for the end of September, when it will be necessary to update the electricity tariffs, very influenced by the trend in the price of gas, to understand the resources made available by the Aid Decree bis are sufficient ".
This is what the president of the Arera, Stefano Besseghini, explains to ANSA.
"It will be necessary to verify, for the tariff changes, if the numbers evaluated well in advance in mid-June need some further intervention, which will have to account for the available resources", he emphasizes.
Besseghini also answers a question on the extreme hypothesis of a total blockade of Russian gas.
"If Russia were to completely block the flow of gas - he says - there will naturally be emergency interventions on the decrease in demand. These will first pass from industrial sectors that can modulate their gas demand and will only ultimately hit the domestic consumer, but never use critical consumption such as hospitals. or other essential services ".
"These summer fluctuations in the cost of gas - he adds - are placed in a fairly clear strategy of Russia to keep the price very tight".
