New bill increases could be pending in 2023: For the State Council, increases by companies after the expiration of the contract are legitimate.
That Council of State has the measure by which theantitrust law had suspended i contract extensions. This last fact worries us in addition to the still very high gas prices and the energy crisis. The risk of higher bills in 2023 is becoming more concrete. In fact, with this refusal, energy companies can renew the usage contracts by providing for price increases.
So what do these innovations mean for the consumer? The situation could remain practically unchanged for some time, but then increases in the bill cannot be ruled out. Let’s see together what it is.
Expensive bills: the verdict of the Council of State
The State Council broadly rejected the Antitrust Bureau’s determination that had suspended the renewal of energy supply contracts based on the provisions of the Aiuti-bis Decree. According to the State Council, the antitrust law in the wrong world interpreted the decree suspending the ability for companies to change the shipping price until April 30, 2023. Possibility of blocking only for unilateral contract changes for contracts that are not expiring.
Dear bills: what will change in 2023?
So, to put it bluntly, business they cannot unilaterally change the terms of the contract by increasing prices. You can’t do this until the contract comes to him meeting. For consumers, however, there are unlikely to be any major changes in the near future: A possible tariff increase could be determined by companies – only for expiring contracts – after the final decision of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court. In the meantime, while they might also opt for price increases on expiring offers, everyone will decide for themselves what to do.
