Milan, 27 Aug. (LaPresse) – “As well as high fuel prices, Italians will soon have to contend with high energy costs.” This is according to Facile.it, which states in an analysis that between September and December, bills could rise by almost 40 per cent compared with last year. “A typical household with an index-linked supply contract on the open market will therefore spend €982 on electricity and gas over the next four months, which is €270 more than last year. The continuation of the conflict could result in a ‘scorching’ autumn and winter in terms of energy bills,” explains Facile.it. Today, the energy price forwards compiled by EEX and analysed by Facile.it “forecast a PUN (wholesale electricity reference price) for the next four months that is 65 per cent higher than last year, whilst the PSV (reference index for the cost of gas) is set to rise by as much as 113 per cent compared with 2025. If these figures are confirmed, therefore, taking into account all the components that make up the bill, between September and December 2026 a typical household with an index-linked supply contract on the open market will spend 273 euros on electricity (+27 per cent compared to last year), whilst the gas bill will reach 709 euros, up 43 per cent year-on-year.” “Now is the right time to review your current deal ahead of autumn and winter and compare it with other offers on the market,” explain the experts at Facile.it. “Switching to a fixed-rate tariff, for example, could be a way to protect yourself from possible future increases, but our advice is to do so as soon as possible, before prices – even capped ones – start to rise.”
