Incoming increases for electricity and gas bills
Winter is coming and with it so are the increases in electricity and gas bills. According to Facile.it estimates, in 2025, Italian families may face an increase of about 350 euros, bringing annual spending on electricity and gas to exceed 2930 euros. This represents an increase of 14% compared to the previous year, an alarming figure that cannot be ignored

Causes of rising energy costs
The reasons for this increase are to be found in the trend in the prices of raw materials, which have registered an increase of more than 30%. The analysis carried out took into account the PSV and PUN indices, highlighting how the wholesale price of electricity will increase by 30%, from 0.11 €/kWh to 0.14 €/kWh. The price of natural gas will also rise significantly, with an increase of 37%, from 0.39 €/smc to 0.53 €/smc

Impact on consumers
The biggest increase will be recorded on the gas bill, which will go from 1793 euros to 2044 euros, with an increase of 251 euros. As far as electricity is concerned, the increase will be 99 euros, bringing annual expenditure from 790 to 889 euros. Experts warn that families with indexed price tariffs will be particularly affected, as raw material costs will remain high for at least the
next 12 months.
Strategies for saving on bills
To address these increases, it’s critical that consumers evaluate their offerings carefully. A first step is to compare the different proposals available on the market. It is important to analyze the detailed bill, where you can find crucial information such as the expenditure on energy, divided into a fixed share and a variable share. Knowing these values allows you to make an informed comparison between the various offers.
Final Thoughts on Energy Tariffs
Finally, to choose the offer that best suits your needs, it is essential to consider your consumption habits. For example, those who consume little energy should pay attention to the fixed fee, while those who use electricity more during the day could opt for a monorary rate. Conversely, those who consume mainly in the evening may find a bihourly rate advantageous. With a careful analysis and comparison of offers, it is possible to mitigate the impact of the increases expected for 2025
