In the next quarter, electricity bills could increase by about 60%
, with a new high in the price of electricity of 66.6 cents per kWh, 25 cents more than in the previous quarter.
This is Nomisma Energia's estimate
that,
without government intervention, the surge would even be 100%.
The Arera will announce the update of the light by the end of the month,
while for the gas one we will have to wait, according to the new calculation methods, at the beginning of November.
For now, Nomisma Energia's preliminary estimate is in this case of a 70% increase.
"Without government intervention, the potential increase in electricity bills for next October 1 would be close to doubling, plus 100%",
explains the president Davide Tabarelli, who defines the + 60% a variation "in any case devastating for families".
"After two quarters in which bills have remained steady thanks to strong government interventions, the Arera is forced to revise them upwards since October, at least for electricity. For gas, it is necessary to wait until the end of October. , because with the new mechanism approved last summer, the changes will be monthly and will be determined with the actual prices of the month ended ", Tabarelli remembers.
Based on the prices that now prevail on the PSV spot market (virtual trading point, practically the Italian wholesale market), much lower than the Amsterdam TTF, "assuming that these stabilize throughout the month of October,
there would be a 70% variation in the gas tariff to the protected person at 210 cents per cubic meter.
It would be an extraordinarily high value compared to the 70-80 cents on which the tariff has fluctuated for years, but by 50% less than the values that would have occurred if the update had been made with the prices at the end of August ", concludes.
