(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 18 – Today, every Italian family pays 780 euros more per year for the supply of electricity and gas compared to 2011, despite the fact that the weight of system taxes and charges on their bills was reduced in 2022 until 34.7% due to the measures against expensive energy launched by the Government. The data emerges from a research conducted by the Consumerismo No Profit consumer association and by the Research and Study Center of “Alma Laboris Business School”, which analyzed the trend of the energy market and the repercussions on user expenses.
In 2011, a family in the protected market spent an average of 1,622 euros at the end of the year for the supply of electricity and gas, an expenditure that had risen to 1,761 euros in 2021 (+139 euros): in the 2011/2021 comparison, electricity tariffs underwent increases for +186 euros per family, while those of gas recorded a reduction of -47 euros per household. The situation changes significantly in 2022, due to the sharp increases in energy prices in recent months. Based on the current rates, at the end of the year a typical family will find itself spending a total of 780 euros more than in 2011 on energy bills: +468 euros for electricity, +312 euros for gas.
“In 10 years the energy market has undergone profound changes – explains the director of Alma Laboris Business School, Dario Numerooso – Just think that 12 million households in the energy sector and 9.4 million in the gas sector have abandoned the protected market between 2011 and 2021 to switch to the free market “.
