The Italian government has announced a series of measures to face the dear Bollette, with a decree that provides for the extension of the social bonus and other initiatives to support families and businesses. The Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, and the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, illustrated the details in a press conference and in a video published on social media.
Extension of the social bonus
The decree provides for the extension of the social bonus up to an ISEE of 25 thousand euros. This contribution, which will apply to bills, will be 200 euros for all families with an ISEE between 0 and 25 thousand euros. The resources for this bonus will be taken from the Environmental Energy Services Cassa, thus avoiding resorting to greater debt. Giorgetti stressed that the measures adopted are worth around 3 billion euros, of which 1.4 billion intended for companies and 1.6 billion to families.
Postponement of the transition to the free market
Among other important measures, the decree provides for the postponement of two years of the transition to the free energy market for the most vulnerable customers. This measure aims to protect consumers more fragile from energy prices.
Support for families
Giorgia Meloni explained that the government has allocated 3 billion euros to face the dear bills, with 1.6 billion intended for families and 1.4 billion to businesses. Families with an ISEE income of up to 25 thousand euros will be able to count on a support of about 200 euros in the next quarter, presenting their ISEE. For nuclei with an ISEE up to 9,530 euros, the contribution will rise to over 500 euros.
Reduction of system charges for SMEs
The decree also provides for the reduction of system charges for small and medium -sized enterprises (SMEs), ensuring a reduction in the next bills which will be around 20%. Meloni underlined the importance of this intervention to support companies in a moment of economic difficulty.
Transparency in bills
Another significant measure is the obligation of transparency imposed to the managers, who will have to provide clear and understandable bills to consumers. This provision aims to make the cost of energy more transparent and facilitate the understanding of bills by users.
Renounces VAT over a certain energy price
Finally, the government has decided that, beyond a certain price of energy, the state will give up the VAT and allocate the excess of VAT to reduce bills. In addition, a mechanism has been built that will allow to use a further 3.5 billion euros of the social fund for the climate, based on the future trend of energy prices.
These measures represent a significant intervention to support Italian families and businesses in the face of the increase in energy costs, while guaranteeing greater transparency and protection for the most vulnerable consumers.
