L’energia oggi. Il problema del “Caro bollette”

The sharp increases in energy bills for electricity and gas illustrate better than any other story the difficult economic and political situation in which, unfortunately, we find ourselves. A period of great turbulence on the energy markets that began in the summer of 2021 and whose negative effects were further magnified with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the main energy partner of several European countries, including Italy.

I dati non lasciano dubbi. L’andamento del PUN (Prezzo Unico Nazionale), indice del prezzo di riferimento dell’energia elettrica alla borsa elettrica italiana, dimostra come si sia passati da un costo medio mensile di 0,084 per €/kWh nel giugno 2021 a uno di 0,441 nello scorso mese di luglio. Uno squilibrio considerevole, al quale si è giunti passando per una costante e rapida crescita dei prezzi. Ugualmente si può dire per il gas, oggi al centro della crisi anche per le implicazioni che vi sono con la guerra in corso. Per capire la portata degli aumenti è sufficiente ricordare che alla fine di agosto si sono sfiorati i 300 euro a megawattora, ovvero dieci volte in più di quanto veniva quotato a gennaio 2021.

This bull run has also led to extraordinary interventions by governments. The Italian one has allocated several billion euros - and perhaps more are planned - to curb high bills and reduce their impact on consumers and businesses. Equally at community level, work is underway for a so-called "ceiling" on the price of Russian gas.

 Considering the situation, it is highly probable that the current crisis - barring unexpected events - is destined to last for a long time. And it is in difficult moments like these that we realize how energy, too often taken for granted, is indispensable for carrying out most of our daily activities.

In this complicated framework, Audax Renewables will continue to do what it has always done: work to offer a quality supply service at advantageous prices.

This can happen thanks to the ever-increasing share of renewable energy generated in our photovoltaic and wind plants around the world and through the signing of important agreements with reliable players for the purchase of renewable 100% energy. The future, that which passes through the energy transition and a decarbonised economy, can only tend towards green energy sources.

To this we must add the guarantee given by a structurally organized and financially solid Group like Audax Renovables.

We believe that only by continuing on this path will it be possible to overcome this critical period together.
