Electricity and gas, alarm for condominiums: there is a risk of supply interruption

Other than reducing the temperature, many condominiums risk the total interruption of the supply. This was denounced today by Consumerismo No profit, which, in light of the rising bills, is receiving requests for help from many condominium administrators throughout Italy. The heating quotas can quadruple compared to the previous year and many condominiums will not find supply on the market due to the risk of arrears, explains Consumerismo. Other managers are asking for additions to the guarantees of up to 30,000 thousand euros for a condominium of 20 apartments. At this moment, those who are holders of a supply have the immediate perception of the abnormal increases in electricity and gas, but, Consumerismo No Profit warns, the condominiums will realize the energy drama only upon presentation of the final balance by the administrators, too late to adjust family budgets to price hikes. Not only. At this moment, the operators, especially those most in difficulty, are withdrawing early from the contracts signed with the condominiums in order not to declare the technical default, but even more serious they are requesting new guarantees. “In fact, we were informed that in order to continue to supply condominium customers, many managers are communicating the need to integrate the guarantees deemed insufficient with respect to the time of stipulation – explains the president Luigi Gabriele – An emblematic case is that of a report that is arrived where an operator has requested an integration of the guarantees of 30,000 euros, under penalty of interruption of the supply within 15 days “. act: immediately check the existing contracts and understand what the deadline is; notify the condominiums of any contractual changes and make them urgently aware of the situation; identify any new suppliers on the market or evaluate the return to protection; promote every possible form of intervention aimed at saving energy and reducing the need, especially for gas; incentivize condominiums to further reduce the heating temperature and the duration of accession than recommended by the government; Promote forms of self-production and self-consumption. “We alert the condominiums that it will be difficult at this time to find a new supplier on the market, especially one who offers us fixed and advantageous prices, therefore it is essential to opt for the possibility of facilitating condominiums to access the gas bonuses which, as known, are not provided by the operators but require a request from the right holders ”, concludes Gabriele.
