Electricity Rates:
In the Protected Market, the cost of energy is determined by ARERA every three months, while in the Free Market, the tariffs vary based on the expenditure on energy and the time slots.
New Regulatory Proposals:
A possible extension for the end of the Greater Protection Service is being discussed, indicating that there may be further updates on the regulatory framework of the electricity market.
Protection from Tariff Rises:
As bill increases arrive, advantageous offers have been highlighted in the Open Market for October 2023 to protect against price increases.
Special offers:
Among the October light offers, Sorgenia offers a variable rate for the raw material, with a monthly expense calculated for a family of 3 people.
Electrical Bonus:
In the approved Energy Decree, an electricity bonus of 200 million euros is foreseen, intended for domestic customers suffering from serious illnesses or with an electricity supply.
Incentives for Renewable Energy:
Although not directly related to electricity tariffs, incentives for installing photovoltaic panels could represent a strategy to reduce dependence on the electricity grid and reduce costs.
These innovations outline an evolving framework for domestic users, with opportunities and challenges emerging in the Italian electricity market. Some of the measures taken are aimed at providing economic relief and greater protection to consumers against tariff hikes.
