DL on Energy Bills, Codacons: “The government gives with one hand and takes away with the other”

Rome, Nov. 10 (LaPresse) – “The government gives with one hand and takes away with the other.” This is how Codacons commented on the approval of the energy bills decree, which sets a price cap on gas, at yesterday evening’s Council of Ministers meeting. “While it is known that the impact of this measure on household budgets will be limited, the government has introduced a tax on electricity bills through the budget law which, due to increased charges to support energy-intensive companies, will cost an average of 100 euros per user over the 2029-2030 two-year period: in short, the government gives with one hand and takes away with the other,” Codacons concludes.
