(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 25 - In view of new increases for egas light: the Arera, the energy authority, redoes the accounts and at the end of the month will announce the adjustment for the bills.
This in a situation already complicated by a new government only indicated by the polls and a government in office but only for current affairs.
The new method for calculating gas tariffs will also start, which will change from quarterly to monthly and the reference market will change.
Hypothesis opposed by many consumers starting with Assoutenti and Codacons.
The further increases would be added to the very heavy ones already arrived in the bill: Assoutenti, for example, estimated that every Italian family finds itself paying 1,231 euros more than in 2020 only for electricity and gas bills (in the first 9 months of the year, therefore without the new adjustment), with energy expenditure increasing overall by + 92.7% in the two-year period 2021-2022.
In 2022, due to the increase in tariffs and despite the measures adopted by the Government, the total expenditure for energy will therefore rise to 2,558 euros (1,516 euros for gas, 1,042 euros for electricity).
And the association's forecasts for 2023 are far from optimistic: "Analysts announce tensions on energy prices that will continue throughout the new year - says president Furio Truzzi - Considering the current strong rise in light and electricity prices. gas, in the absence of a national or European freeze on tariffs and effective counter interventions, in 2023 the bill for energy supplies could reach 5,266 euros per family: 3,052 euros for the gas bill, 2,214 euros for electricity, with an increase in expenditure energy by + 300% compared to 2020 ".
