From January 1st January 2016 comes a double-drop for their energy bills. This was announced by the Energy Authority stating that for the family-type (average consumption of 2,700 kWh of electricity per year and a power draw of 3 kW) the electricity bill will decline by 1.2%, while for the gas bill the decline will be even more significant, with a -3.3%, with the total saving in the 12 months to almost 60 euro.
Energy: electricity bills -1.2%, -3.3% Gas
The “double down” for their energy bills was decided by ‘ authorities with “updating the economic conditions of reference for households and small consumers in protection for the first quarter of 2016″. “For electricity – explains the Authority- spending on family-type sliding year (1 April 2015- 31 March 2016) will be approximately 505 EUR, with a decrease of 1.4% compared to 12 equivalent months of the previous year (1st April 2014 – March 31, 2015), corresponding to a saving of about € 7. For gas, the cost of family type for the same period will be about 1,093 Euros, a decrease of -4.4%, which corresponds to a saving of around 50 euro from sliding. ” The overall savings in the 12 months in so-called “sliding year” for electricity and gas “will be then 57 € per household.”
Decline due to falling prices
In the first quarter of 2016, “the downside for electricity is largely due to a sharp fall in overall costs for procurement the ‘Energy matters’ that reflects the dynamics of the price on the wholesale market, a slight downward adjustment of system charges and a slight reduction in the tariffs for transmission, distribution and metering; declines partially offset by an increase in items relating to the marketing of retail. ” Likewise for gas, “the sharp decline is primarily due to the sharp drop in raw material component that reflects the market trend and, in particular, the downward expectations reflected in forward rates in the wholesale markets in Italy and Europe for the next quarter (with expected prices down by over 10% compared to the expectations incorporated in the prices recorded only three months ago in relation to the same period, even reversing the normal cyclicality linked to seasonality). ” Slightly down “even rates of distribution and measurement and transportation costs.”
Authorities: 2,016 crossroads reforms, cutting rates by 1 billion
The beginning 2016 defines a “crossroads of several reforms” by the Energy: total gas and electricity – is explained – with regard to tariffs that cover the costs of the network, the reduction of tariffs determined by the Authority applies to the 2016 about 1 billion; affect the reforms, “the new regulatory period to the new electric bill 2.0, the remuneration more selective infrastructure the first steps towards the exit from the protections of the price, through the ‘liberation’ of the electric vector.”
Consumers: good news
“Excellent news after the incomprehensible increases in October,” says the National Consumers Union urging the government: “In any case it is high time that the lower taxes, particularly on gas, given that account for 37,69% of the final price. Definitely a blunder. ” Consumers Association also welcomes: “Finally, a decrease in prices,” but is “excessive taxation bills, requires action to reduce the energy costs of the most vulnerable families.” The effect of the path of reforms, to which the Authority determines total savings already concretely also incorporated in the latest update of the tariffs, the Codacons hides the risk of price increases for many consumers: “Good,” the cuts but warns, “the savings will be deleted from the new system of calculating tariff will come into force next January 1 “and that” reward those who consume more energy to the detriment of those users who so far had enjoyed benefits: on the one hand the reduction of tariffs will result in an average savings about 60 Euros per year will bring other new billing increases cost about 100 euro per annum for the 75% of users Italians. “
