According to the data released by Arera, in the electricity sector for the resident domestic customer, there are on average 64 offers that are cheaper than greater protection, equal to 4.72% of those available, while for gas they are 65, equal to 9.82%. “Enlightening data that show that we are far from having a competitive market and that the protected market must remain well beyond January 1, 2023 – comments Marco Vignola, head of the energy sector of the National Consumers Union – We cannot do the free market, in fact, on the shoulders and pockets of families “.

“If 90.18% of the free market gas offers are more expensive than protected ones, while in the light they are even 95.28%, it means, without ifs and buts, that price competition is not possible, that offers are still not very transparent, commercial practices are misleading. Sellers, then, in the absence of a serious register of suppliers, arise like mushrooms, without having adequate financial requirements and guarantees “, continued Vignola.
