Energia, Mazzoncini (A2A): “If an EU agreement we would see an effect on bills quickly”

“Gas prices have risen at an incredible speed and could be lowered with the same speed; but there is a certain delay and citizens with greater protection see the price adjustment with a delay of 3 months”. Certainly “if a European-wide agreement on gas managed to maintain the lowering of the price that we are already seeing, the effect on bills we would begin to see quite quickly”. This was stated by the CEO of A2A Renato Mazzoncini on the sidelines of the presentation of the sixth Milan territorial sustainability report of the multiutility, underway in Milan. “I hope that at European level it will be possible to have a common policy and to be able to define, especially on gas, a sort of common purchasing group”, continued Mazzoncini. On the supply of gas, explained Mazzoncini, “we are much better than in other European countries because we have full storage “, as well as the fact that” gas flows now come mainly from Southern countries “such as Algeria, Libya and the Tap gas pipeline. In any case, he concludes, “a common policy is important to deal above all with speculative risks on the price”.
