The eighth edition of Abbassa la Bolletta, Altroconsumo’s purchasing group, is in full swing, offering free market offers that aim to be economical and consumer friendly, ensuring a verification of the contractual conditions to refine the quality of the selected suppliers. Essential conditions for participating in the downward auction were a good quality of service, assessed by Altroconsumo, and the ability to supply 100% electricity from renewable sources. Altroconsumo has thus selected, based on price convenience, the 4 winners of the 2024 edition of Abbassa la Bolletta for the various categories provided for. These are respectively Octopus (electricity – fixed price offer); Dolomiti Energia (electricity – variable price offer); Iren Gase e Luce (Gas – fixed price offer); Engie (Gas – variable price offer). All interested consumers will be able to join the purchasing group free of charge and enjoy the advantageous and exclusive rates negotiated by Altroconsumo. For members, then, there is an additional bonus of 16 or 32 euros depending on whether one or 2 supplies are activated, provided they are not already customers of the provider.
Lower your Bill – the association reminds us – involves a series of exclusive advantages because it is convenient and simple. Convenient, because with the selected offers the estimate of the annual expense is currently among the most advantageous on the market. Simple, because it adapts to the needs of each person, allowing you to activate and manage everything via the web.
The offers, independent of each other, can be subscribed to according to your preferences and the savings (verifiable on the registration platform) that they allow you to obtain; members will therefore be able to subscribe to either a supply for electricity and one for gas, or just one of the two and will be able to choose between a fixed price for 12 months and a variable price, indexed to the wholesale market.
Furthermore, the electricity offer is also single-hourly, thus allowing greater peace of mind in consumption during all days of the week and in all time slots. Analyzing in detail the convenience of the winning bids for electricity supply, the bids that won this edition of Abbassa al Bolletta offer very competitive economic conditions compared to the rest of the market.
Considering the average consumption of a family of 3 – 4 people, equal to 2,700 kWh per year, the two winning offers in the “electricity” categories are positioned among the top five on the market, just behind the cheapest. As regards the gas market, considering an average annual consumption of 1,400 cubic meters with independent heating, the excellent performance of the winning offer in the “Gas – variable price” category is notable, which is currently the cheapest on the market.
In detail, the fixed price offer for electricity records a saving of 75 euros per year, calculated compared to the market average and considering the average consumption of a family of 3-4 people described previously. The saving of the winning offer in the Electricity – variable price category was evaluated using the same criterion: the amount, in this case, is equal to 95 euros per year.
As regards gas supplies, the fixed price offer records a saving of around 25 euros per year compared to the market average and considering the average consumption of a home with independent heating, equal to 1,400 cubic meters per year. Finally, the average saving recorded by the variable price offer is around 200 euros per year.
Everyone will be able to choose according to their own preferences: with the variable price offer the savings are greater at this time, but the variability of the price of the energy component must be considered, which varies from month to month. However, the energy component of fixed price offers is stable, which, on the other hand, currently provides lower savings forecasts. At present, therefore, by adding the savings obtainable on both supplies, on average you can save up to around 300 euros per year on electricity and gas bills.
Lower your bill is a safe service since the general supply conditions have been verified by Altroconsumo experts and the consumer can always count on the Organization’s assistance. Furthermore, it is sustainable because the light offer is GREEN, guaranteed by 100% renewable sources. Registration is free and open to everyone (both to those in the greater protection regime and to those already in the free market): by entering your consumption data you can check how much you can actually save on your bill and, once the offers have been evaluated without obligation, it will be possible to decide whether to join the purchasing group, with the constant support of Altroconsumo. With the new edition of Abbassa la Bolletta – which to date has allowed more than 500,000 families to save 250 euros on average per year – Altroconsumo’s commitment to consumer protection and the defense of the power of purchase by Italian families. And for those who cannot find the offer suitable for their consumption, the Altroconsumo comparator is always available.
