Overview

  • Arera’s June 2025 report shows Italian households faced a 15.1% rise in average gas prices in 2024, exceeding the EU average by 5.3%.
  • High taxes and levies increased by 28%, offsetting reductions in energy and network costs and keeping final electricity prices 14% above the euro-area mean.
  • More than half of Italian consumers signed fixed-price electricity contracts last year, reflecting widespread concern over future bill volatility.
  • The modular layout will foreground billing essentials—amount, period, payment status and contracted terms—then present a clear cost breakdown by consumption, fixed fees and network charges.
  • The government is revisiting nuclear power as a long-term diversifier to reduce Italy’s reliance on costly energy imports and volatile markets.
