Italian Council of Ministers Approves Energy and Infrastructure Decree
What happened
The Council of Ministers approved an infrastructure decree that includes urgent provisions to reduce the cost of electricity and gas. The measure aims to contain the impact of gas prices on electricity costs by providing a temporary reduction for families and businesses. This reduction, which starts in January, is set to average around 15 euros per megawatt hour and was established through dialogue with the European Commission.

Why it matters
The decree introduces a mechanism to reimburse costs related to natural gas used for thermoelectric production. This action provides support to consumers and the productive sector in Italy. The measure is also intended to guarantee the continuity of interventions in the infrastructure and transport sector.
The Council of Ministers uses its official seat, Palazzo Chigi, to formulate policy, informed by past energy surge data.
