“Our bills are lower than those in Rimini”

“The bills of the San Marino people are the lowest ever compared to users in the neighboring territories, by 58% for electricity and 32% for the supply of gas”. This was reiterated by the Secretary of State, Teodoro Lonfernini on the day in which he puts the numbers on the table, together with the president Francesco Raffaeli and the general director Raoul Chiaruzzi, of the autonomous State Company for Services. “In this legislature the conditions have been created to secure the budget – says the Secretary – and to set aside important resources useful for future management and investments in the sector. It is the result of a renewal process which has led to a reorganization and modernization of the Company and the development of the best strategies for energy, water and gas”. Then the numbers. Aass closes the year with a profit of almost 40 million euros, Lonfernini reports, liquidity of over 58 million euros and provisions to be allocated to investments in excess of 30 million”. Obviously we are talking about numbers even when those taking the field are those bills that have been in the eye of the storm for months. In San Marino, as in Italy “If in a year the families of Rimini have incurred an average cost of electricity of 762 euros, those of San Marino have paid, instead, a bill equal to 318.17 euros. The same goes for the supply of gas, compared to a cost of 902 euros in the province of Rimini, the same San Marino family unit incurred a cost of 615.65 euros. Considering these results, I can only feel flattered by the fact that someone ironically defines me as the Bills Secretary, recognizing, perhaps unconsciously, the positive effects of our work”. “Thanks to the work of consolidating the economic conditions of the Company – explains CEO Chiaruzzi – we invest 8 million euros in the local networks every year”. Raffaeli highlighted the meticulous work of reorganizing the accounts “and recovering suspended credits and taking action in favor of families in difficulty – underlines the president of the State Company for Services – with the establishment, for the first time, of social tariffs”.
