Fifteen days less
,
one degree reduction in temperature and one hour a day for heating this winter
.
However, an exception is made for hospitals, kindergartens, swimming pools, saunas and some industrial and craft activities to which the Municipalities "have already granted exceptions to the temperature limits, as well as for buildings equipped with systems powered mainly by renewable energy", the ministry of Ecological transition (Mite) in communicating that Minister Roberto Cingolani
has signed the decree defining "the new time limits for the operation of natural gas powered air conditioning systems"
.
According to ENEA estimates, these three measures would save 2.7 billion cubic meters of gas.
The high bill, which is affecting families and businesses, mobilizes the municipalities, with the mayors ready to ask the next government up to one billion euros in order not to default the administrative budgets.
Meanwhile, Eni's number one, Claudio Descalzi, reassures about stocks: gas is sufficient, unless there were technical accidents, such as a breakdown or breakdown of a plant, affecting the supplier countries or a particularly severe cold.
However, "the price crisis will not be resolved by 2023: it will take at least three years", ruled the president of Nomisma Energia, in an interview with the weekly "The International Post" explaining that "
But basically, "without gas and without fossil fuels and energy we cannot do it under any circumstances".
But in the meantime, for now, there is the Plan for the reduction of natural gas consumption envisaged by the Mite with this decree which postpones the date of switching on the radiators by 8 days and anticipates switching off by 7 days.
Dates that vary according to the six climatic zones identified in Italy.
So in Milan instead of October 15th the heating will start on the 22nd and will be turned off on April 7th instead of the 15th;
in Rome, on the other hand, the heating scheduled from November 1st to April 15th will be from November 8th to April 7th.
The temperature in the houses, which is set at 20 degrees by convention, will have to drop to 19.
Enea (the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development), which provided the ministry with the assessments for energy saving, will publish a vademecum with the essential indications for correctly setting the heating temperature that the condominium administrators will be able to make it available to condominiums.
In the presence of "particularly severe climatic situations", warns the Mite, the Municipalities can authorize the ignition of gas-fired thermal plants even outside the periods indicated by the decree, as long as it is for a reduced daily duration ".
And the Municipalities are ready to ask the next government for 200 million to be included in the dl Aid quater, and then 800 million in the budget law which may also be valid for 2023 for the most critical situations of municipal budgets, explained the finance delegate. local ANCI, Alessandro Canelli announcing "a package of measures including technical-accounting to stop the decline in municipal revenues expected for 2023 and to cope with the persistent increase in energy costs".
