(LaPresse) – “With the decree approved today by the Council of Ministers, we are finalising the ‘Bollette’ decree, with the aim of reducing the cost of electricity for households and businesses. From January onwards, overall, the measures in the decree will enable an average reduction of around 15 euros per megawatt-hour (MWh),” said Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, Minister for the Environment and Energy Security. “A temporary reduction in the cost of electricity for households and businesses, through a mechanism to reimburse a portion of the costs of natural gas used for thermoelectric power generation.” This is what the new measure in the ‘Bollette’ decree, approved today by the Council of Ministers, provides for. From January, “the measures in the decree will result in an average reduction of around 15 euros per megawatt-hour”. The measure was “developed in consultation with the European Commission and is aimed at limiting the impact of gas prices on the cost of electricity”. The initiative – it is explained – “forms part of the government’s efforts to contain energy costs, protect households and businesses, and support the competitiveness of the production sector”.
