INCREASED ELECTRICITY: RISKS FOR COMPANIES

20 January 2022

The issue of increases in electricity and gas, and all that this entails for businesses, families and workers, was widely debated during the episode of Restart, broadcast on Rai 2 on 19 January.

The President of OMR Marco Bonometti spoke with the Deputy Minister for Economic Development Alessandra Todde and the Secretary General of UIL Pierpaolo Bombardieri, who during the debate brought back the voice of companies at this critical moment.

"We had to order problems: an immediate one, since companies are no longer able to move forward, so it is necessary to intervene immediately on the reduction of the bill, with proposals that could dare to timely such as the use of the market stabilizing reserve to bring down the price of CO2, the increase in drilling, the use of gas reserves and the use of extra-profits from energy companies. We are in a situation where companies that paid one million a month for energy today find themselves paying five million. In this situation, we risk not reaping the benefits of the recovery, because this is another pandemic that is putting Italian industry in crisis. Then we have to make some final choices, which are decisive in reversing the situation and making up for the mistakes made in the past, for example with nuclear energy,” says President Bonometti.

«If we do not decide and start with alternative solutions, we will always be late, with the risk of witnessing the relocation or closure of many companies every day. In our country, favorable conditions for doing business have been lacking for too long ».
