Electricity and gas, the increases come: from October price increases of 3.4% and 2.4% – TGCOM

– From October triggered increases for electricity and gas. As established by the Energy adapting quarterly for electricity will increase by 3.4%, while for gas by 2.4%. Despite these increases, the average family will save a total of € 60 in 2015 due to declines in the first nine months of the year.



 Light and gas, the increases come: from October price increases of 3.4% and 2.4%

For electricity, the Authority explained in the note, spending on family-type in the period 1 January -31 December 2015 will be around 505 Euros, with a decrease of 2.2% over the previous year and save more than 11 Euros. For gas, household spending will instead type in the same period of around EUR 1,123, down 4.2% on 2014, corresponding to a saving of around 50 Euros. The overall savings in 2015 for electricity and gas will be so more than 60 euro per household .

There are two factors that weigh on the rise in electricity: the increase in overall costs for the supply of “material energy ” that was affected by price spikes recorded on the market at ‘wholesale in the month of July (+ 39% compared to June) while the consumption of electricity exceptionally high for the record heat and the need to adapt still upward system costs, in particular to support the extraordinary costs related to the end of the withdrawal mechanism of green certificates in 2016 and costs for incentives to energy efficiency.

For gas there was a slight drop in the raw materials component that reflects the downward expectations of forward rates in the wholesale markets in Italy and Europe, making it less noticeable what would be the normal dynamics of the markets on the upside due to the seasonal consumption. Cali that thanks to the reform of the Authority gases are immediately transferred to the final consumer, with a particularly significant on the eve of the highest consumption Autumn . The reduction of the raw material is more than offset mainly by the increase in transportation costs and the component for the gradual implementation of the reform gas.

The Unc: “Increases incomprehensible” – “A very bad news. It stops a decline that lasted continuously since the beginning of the year. For families who already struggle to get to the end of the month, a bad shot,” said Massimiliano Dona, Secretary of the National Consumers. “Despite attempts to explain the Authority, it is incomprehensible increases, given the decrease in both the price of oil and gas around the world. In any case it is high time that the government lower taxes, particularly on gas, since they account for 36,93% of the final price. Definitely a blunder, “said Dona.

Even the Post Office will be more expensive from October –
Rates saltier, from October 1, also for the Post Office. The prices of the ordinary mail stamps went from 80 cents to 95 (with mail delivery in four days), while priority mail will have rates starting at 2.80 € (with next day delivery of shipments).
