Energy Authority: “Dramatic situation, gas at € 200 per mwh”
Italy prepares to deal with the dear energy. The gas price reached a record figure of 200 euros per megawatt hourthis is more than double the already very high prices recorded in the previous months and ten times higher than the average of last ten years. While the government is preparing to launch a new one aid decree – we read in the Press – the Energy Authoritywith a report sent to Parliament last Friday, raises the high-energy alarm. Arerafirst of all, it indicates the “strong criticalities for the national system in relation to the crisis situation of the energy systems linked to the extremely high prices reached on the wholesale markets, due to the now full-blown use of gas as pressure tool on European economies “. TO October the bills will increase by 100%even if the government will confirm the interventions to calm the costs.
Of his own the authorityjust last week, – continues the Press – he decided to change the mechanism from price formation of the service protection of natural gas starting from next October, deciding to calculate the new prices every month (rather than quarterly) and to no longer use the forward quotations of the wholesale market as a reference, but the average of the actual prices of the Italian wholesale market. But of course this is not enough: it will be necessary to adopt extraordinary measures in the face of a scenario in the coming months that is defined “dramatic“.
