The household appliance bonus will no longer be with the click day. Gradual protections for the vulnerable also in 2027. Rescue from the new taxation of fringe benefits for company cars ordered by 31 December and delivered no later than 30 June. The scope of the 'bills' decree-law on which the government has put its trust in the Chamber of Deputies is wide: passed by the Council of Ministers at the end of February with a 3 billion dowry of aid to protect families and businesses from high bills, the first reading in Parliament has considerably enriched its scope. The initial text consisted of 7 articles: following the amendments made in the referendum, 13 additional articles were approved and several additional paragraphs were added to the articles of the initial text.
Contribution of 200 for households with Isee up to 25,000 euro
For 2025, an extraordinary subsidy of EUR 200 is recognised on electricity supplies for domestic customers with an Isee up to EUR 25,000 (a population of 8 million households). The overall impact of the measure is EUR 1.6 billion.
Home appliance bonus without click day
Changes to the household appliance bonus. An amendment by FdI has changed the way it is used. It will no longer be distributed with the 'click day' but with a discount on the invoice. In addition, the minimum energy class threshold (B), which risked penalising Italian-made production, has been exceeded.
Electricity, vulnerability service until 2027
Changes to the regulation of the supply of electricity to vulnerable customers: the entry into force of the vulnerability service is postponed until the end of the gradual protection market (STG) (i.e. not before 31 March 2027). In the meantime, the enhanced protection service remains in force for vulnerable customers who have not chosen a supplier in the TSG or the free market. Those who, currently in the TSG, should then accrue the requirements for qualification as vulnerable customers may opt to remain in the graduated protection service.
In particular, the possession, under certain conditions, of real estate owned by vulnerable persons in the event of debt for non-payment of condominium energy bills, and vulnerable customers who have not chosen a supplier by the date of conclusion of the graduated protection service are to be supplied within the supply service guaranteed by the distribution company or, alternatively, within the vulnerability service, if already in operation.
