On 30 June 2024, the greater protection of electricity ends forever and for everyone (except for the so-called vulnerable), i.e. that regime in which prices and contractual conditions are established by an independent authority, Arera, regulatory authority for energy, networks and the environment. The latest tariff update was made at the end of March and relates to the second quarter of 2024. Gas protection, however, has already ended in January 2024.
The protection ends because the energy market has been liberalized some time ago in the European Union and Brussels has imposed the end of administered prices. To help consumers who remain protected (9 million in total based on Arera data at the end of 2023) towards a conscious transition to the free market, at a time when wholesale energy markets have not yet completely stabilized after the crisis of 2022 which led to prices never seen before, the regulator has provided for a transitional regime similar to the protection, called the Gradual Protection Regime.
How does this new regime work? What do you have to do to access it? What conditions and prices does it have? Is it convenient compared to the free market? If I am on the free market, can I enter the Gradual Protection Service? How and with what times? What happens to me if I don’t do anything? Who are the vulnerable? And what happens for them? Let’s see all the answers.
