Energy, Tar Lombardia suspending the bills increases in July – The Republic

MILAN – The Regional Administrative Court of Lombardy suspended as a precautionary measure the contestatissimi increases in electricity and gas bills triggered the first last July, raising a cloud of dust has called into question the Authority for Energy and also the Ministry of economic Development.

the judges upheld the appeal of Codacons, presented denouncing the wholesalers speculation on the market. The proceeding was postponed in relation to closed session scheduled for next September 15.

Celebrate the Consumers’ Association: “Thanks to the Codacons 30 million Italians will receive the next bill and the lowered gas and without increases. ” The Tar says Codacons in a statement, acknowledged that “the state”, he “determines, in relation to emanande individual invoices, an immanent serious and irreparable damage especially for the wide audience that makes up the individual end users (mostly families and users of non-productive activities managers, low incomes) and, on the other hand, the relative increases if proven legitimate, can be easily recovered as part of the additional billing systems through appropriate and equitable ways of drawdown. “

the go-ahead, then, might cause serious and irreparable damage, why the suspension as a precautionary measure. On the other hand stay the proceedings today and possibly recover the increases (in ways “appropriate” and “fair”) after the decision on the merits will not harm businesses.

The Authority had decided increases for the third quarter, after declines in the first six months of the year. The increase for the family-type electricity would have been 4.3%, gas by 1.9%. Over the past 12 months, more for the average family, the savings would be reduced to about 70 euro. The price increases are, however, due to a projected increase in raw material prices, in particular natural gas, and higher costs for the dispatching service (distribution) of electricity. But the Authority has opened an investigation into the anomalous behavior of the operators.

Today, that same Energy Authority “to take note of the provisional decree monocratic the Lombardy TAR” on the suspension of the bills increases, ” taken without hearing the Authority considers that the conditions for proposing, through the State Attorney, immediate application for revocation of the decree. ” In his note, the Authority explained that the decision of the TAR “is based on an application that presents a false representation of the facts and law.” By Mise arrives instead of doing as soon as clarity on the facts and possible speculative behavior that led to an abnormal increase in dispatching costs in recent months. “
