Outgoing Arera Board Sets Aside €70,000 for Pay Top-Up After Court Scraps Public Salary Cap

The accrual covers August through December ahead of a leadership change in January.

Overview

  • A November 25 resolution by Arera’s outgoing board estimates an additional €70,000 for the president and commissioners, recorded as a precautionary accrual.
  • The move cites the Constitutional Court’s July ruling that struck down the statutory pay ceiling for public managers.
  • The amount is allocated over August–December 2025, equating to roughly €2,800 more per month for each of the five commissioners.
  • Arera’s website lists current commissioner pay at about €255,000 gross annually, already at the previously reported maximum level.
  • The government has appointed a new board led by Nicola Dell’Acqua starting in January, while the public administration ministry prepares guidance to restrict who may exceed the old cap.
