Gas, Tabarelli: “Considering rationing can calm the market”

With the cut in gas supplies from Russia “there will be increases in bills and the possibility of interrupting” flows is a certainty, so “we must begin to consider the possibility of rationing, which is a double-edged sword to use. with extreme delicacy “and on which” we need to prepare people, we must tell them and not go astray. But this is an important action that will begin to calm the markets “. This is what Davide Tabarelli, president of Nomisma Energia claims to Adnkronos. At the beginning of the conflict, he continues, “I was worried” while “now I have it with the markets, with finance, there are those who are gaining from this situation”. So “we have to ride these markets, we have to give them the worst thing right away, which is rationing. Let’s show that we are capable, let’s destroy the demand. Then we’ll see what to do”. But we need, Tabarelli reiterates, “an aggressive and no longer passive strategy, carried out all together in Europe, preparing for the worst even for the winter”. Meanwhile, with the summer, “we will keep people warm, because it will be necessary to ration the energy for the air conditioners” and it will be necessary “to help the poor on their bills, as has already been done”, he adds. Meanwhile, “today the consequences deriving from the cuts in gas supplies mean that prices have risen by more than 50% in the last few hours “and for this reason” the next bills will suffer increases “, concludes the president of Nomisma Energia.
