Il Mite published the Regulation to "
immediately realize useful savings at a European level
to prepare for any interruptions in gas supplies from Russia".
Among the measures envisaged a reduction of 1 degree for the heating of buildings, from 17 with plus or minus 2 degrees of tolerance for buildings used for industrial, artisanal and similar activities, from 19 with plus or minus 2 degrees of tolerance for all other buildings.
"The operating limits of thermal plants, compared to the provisions of paragraph 2 of article 4 of Presidential Decree no. 74/2013,
are reduced by 15 days as regards the period of ignition
(postponing the start date by 8 days and bringing the year end date forward by 7 days) and by 1 hour as regards the daily duration of ignition ". This is what is stated in the Mite Regulation for the containment of gas consumption in which it is specified, however, that sensitive users (eg hospitals, rest homes, etc.) are reserved.
The estimates of the impact of all the containment measures indicated in the Regulation published by the MITE "lead to a potential of
approximately 5.3 billions of cubic meters of gas
, considering the maximization of electricity production from fuels other than gas (around 2.1 billion cubic meters of gas) and the savings associated with the containment of heating (around 3.2 billion cubic meters of gas) ". To which, explains the Mild, are added the behavioral measures to be promoted through user awareness campaigns for the purpose of a more virtuous consumption behavior.
The set of expected contribution from the measures adopted by the Mite together with voluntary behavioral measures in the efficient use of energy "leads to a reduction in consumption consistent with the 15% of the EU Regulation, therefore equal to
at least 8.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas
. "This can be read in the text of the Regulation just licensed by the MITE.

Gas price falls sharply in Amsterdam
"The blockade of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline further increases the likelihood of a recession in the Eurozone."
Fitch analysts say this in a note
.
"The complete shutdown of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline - the rating agency experts explain - further reduces the already few margins of error to balance the European gas market this winter, despite the EU strategy to mitigate the worst effects of the blockade on the market is still credible ".
