The Italian government, led by Giorgia Meloni, is set to approve measures aimed at reducing electricity prices this week. Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin announced that an agreement with the EU has been reached. The plan includes a temporary cap of around 60 euros per MWh on natural gas prices for power plants. This measure aims to mitigate the impact of high natural gas prices on electricity bills for households and businesses. The government will compensate gas companies for the difference between market prices and the established cap, funded by increasing certain tariffs on electricity bills. Additionally, low-income families can access social aid for energy costs, with specific income thresholds for eligibility.
