Overview

  • ARERA set the April gas tariff for protected customers at 107.92 cents per cubic meter, marking an 8.1% decrease from March.
  • The drop reflects lower wholesale prices, with Amsterdam and Italian PSV markets trading below €32/MWh in April, down from €40/MWh in March.
  • A typical household consuming 1,100 cubic meters annually will save approximately €105 due to the reduction.
  • Despite the decrease, gas prices remain significantly higher than historical averages, standing 46.6% above April 2021 levels.
  • The bill breakdown shows commodity costs account for 40.41%, while transport, taxes, and other charges make up the majority of the total.
