Now all those who are looking to save on their electricity bills will be able to pay 70 euros less: an unmissable opportunity.
One of the hottest topics on the peninsula is certainly the cost of electricity bills. Since leaving the protected market, costs have risen dramatically, to the point that many have also begun to report unfair practices on the part of operators. Many are now asking for the option of returning from the free market to the protected electricity market. In fact the decision seems to involve numerous users. Among the biggest concerns we certainly find the costs of bills and opaque services.
Despite the drop in energy prices, many people are receiving exorbitant bills. From the moment the contract is signed, the rates are unclear and consequently there are also hidden costs within the conditions. However, few people know that there are categories of citizens who can still access the protected market. This was revealed by Stefano Besseghini, president of Arera, who clarified the topic that is close to the hearts of many Italians.
Electricity bills, so you save 70 euros: they can return to the protected market
The president of Arera, Stefano Besseghini, recently revealed that the transition to the protected market can lead to annual savings of around 70 euros in fixed costs. This prospect has aroused the interest of many consumers, pushing them to carefully evaluate the possibility of making this transition in order to obtain savings and greater clarity in tariffs. The decision to return to the protected market is open to both customers considered vulnerable and non-vulnerablebut it is important to act quickly.
Non-vulnerable customers must switch by the end of June 2024, before the phased protections regime comes into force. For vulnerable customers, however, it is possible to opt for the protected market even after this date, but it is necessary to consider the technical times necessary to change the operator. Arera identifies vulnerable customers as those who find themselves in disadvantaged economic conditions. Among these we find those who face serious health problems, are disabled under law 104/92, reside in emergency housing facilities or on smaller islands, or are over 75 years of age.
For these users, returning to the protected market can offer greater economic security and stability. Thanks to this step, only the payment of a fixed amount of 16 euros for stamp duty is required, without other significant costs. The practical process for making the switch is relatively simple: just sign a new contract with the company that manages the enhanced protection service in your area. As for savings with the transition to gradual protections, there is no guarantee.
At the same time it is possible that the competitive offer of marketing rates may represent an interesting opportunity for many consumers. The choice between the free market and the protected market depends on individual needs, with both markets offering unique advantages and disadvantages.
