electricity at +0.4% for the next three months, possible rise for gas in the summer – Corriere.it

The electricity bill for the typical protected family will increase slightly: 0.4% in the third quarter of 2023. This was communicated by Arera, underlining how the expenditure for electricity for the typical family in the year between 1 October 2022 and 30 September 2023 will be approximately 1,150 euros, +7.3% compared to the equivalent 12 months of the previous year. For gas, the update will arrive only on July 4 (based on the new calculation method) on the consumption of the previous month. But the Authority itself warns of a possible rise in gas prices in the summer.

On the electricity front, however, the Regulatory Authority for energy, networks and the environment points out that the strengthening of electricity has been confirmed for the next quarter electricity and gas social bonuses for families with an ISEE level of up to 15,000 euros (30,000 euros for large families), as foreseen by the government in the decree approved at the meeting of the Council of Ministers on 27 June. Intervention that joins those relating to gas, with confirmation of thezeroing of general charges and VAT reduction to 5%, as well as for heat and district heating management.

The support provided by the energy social bonuses in support of families is still relevant, explains the Arera, recalling that the ISEE has a validity coinciding with the calendar year and therefore it is important to resubmit the single substitutive declaration (Dsu) to obtain certification for the 2023. From 1 July next, the reference price of electricity for the average customer will be 23.85 euro cents per kilowatt hour, taxes included. Arera then introduces the “average customer”, i.e. the protected domestic customer with consumption of 2,000 kWh/year. The data on the updating of the bills for this type of user will be available on the website of the authority, in addition to those of the typical family.
