MILAN – Increases in electricity and gas bills announced by the Energy and Gas Authority are beginning today. Energy expenditures for the standard family in protection will increase by 6.5% for electricity and 8.2% for natural gas, in contrast to the sharp declines (-8% for electricity and -5, 7% for gas) in the second quarter of this year. The authority said that "for gas the impact on the expense for domestic customers is less important given the very low consumption of the summer period."

To weigh on the increases are international tensions and the consequent strong acceleration of oil quotes, rose 57% in one year and only 9% in the last month of May, which – explains the Authority – "also strongly influenced prices in wholesale energy markets, with price implications for end customers in the free market and the protected market".

The increases will entail a household expenditure of about 24 euros / year for electricity and about 21 euros / year for gas, explained the Authority, which calculates expenditures (gross of taxes) in the sliding year (between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018). But for the study of the National Consumers Union, the increase on an annual basis (not, according to the sliding year, but from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2019) will be 33.5 euros for light and 83.5 euros for gas.
