Gas bill, the calculator gets to pay less

Comparing the offers of companies that sell light and gas up till now was an impossible exercise for any user who had only the relevant contracts available. From today, it will be easy thanks to a new IT portal, created and managed by a single buyer, based on the provisions of the Energy Authority. By typing www.prezzoenergia.it the consumer will display a screen like the one we propose, where he can compare existing offers and choose the one that best suits his needs.

As few people are aware, the competition law 2017 established that from July 1, the protection market will cease, the one that concerns today most of domestic users and that enjoys high tariffs based on certain parameters of the Energy Authority (high growth rates expected in the coming months). It will then move to the open market and the user is responsible for choosing between different offers. And just to compare these new proposals that the portal was launched.

But the portal will be useful immediately. Indeed, since the first of January all suppliers of gas and light have been obliged to propose, among their own tariffs, contracts called Placet: a free price, conditions of protection. This is a kind of accompaniment to the free market, indeed those who wanted to choose between these offers, coming of greater protection before July 1, 2019, find them today on the portal. It is offers deliberately simplified and standardized according to the criteria of the Authority, in order to be comparable. Therefore, additional services, bonuses and combinations with other sales are excluded from these offers.

From today, the portal collects and publishes the only offers of Placet. Each seller must have in his own menu of offers, one fixed price and the other variable price (that is, indexed to the performance of wholesale markets). . For the moment it is not yet possible to compare on the portal its current bill in greater protection and a Placet offer.

From 1 December 2018, the portal will extend to the publication of all offers on the market. Including those with contractual conditions established by the seller, then offers additional services. Fixed and variable price. Meanwhile, from today, after typing www.prezzoenergia.it the consumer is asked to provide some information available in his bill: the annual consumption of gas and gas. 39; electricity; the postal code (not all offers are available in all regions of the country.

Only those offered in the area where the user is located will be made comparable consumption by time slots, the choice between a fixed-price offer or a variable-price offer The offers that result after the entry of the information are more and more ordered, from the one with the lowest price to the one with the highest price. 19659004] If the consumer does not find the information requested by the portal, this will suggest a simulation of the possible annual expenditure, asking for information on the number and type of household appliances that he has at him, on the area where the user is, on the composition of the family unit.

From 1 July 2019, if and when we will have on the free market, the portal will have already allowed users to enter ner for comparison. The conditional obligation, given that the directives expressed by some members of the majority seem to want to reconsider all or part of this decision
