Electricity and gas bills more transparent and easier to read

you ever read an electricity bill? Only experts can understand in detail the specific items illegible invoices: among the various additional charges and, in fact, the total amount of the invoice is a summation of many components of which in the eyes of many consumers are not understood.

Therefore, in order to enable consumers to better understand the bill and the gas, with clear, simple and transparent, the Authority for Electricity and Gas has prepared a single document for billing electricity and gas utilities, so it's easier not only reading, but also the comparison between the various actors in order to consciously evaluate what is the cheapest energy operator.

The main innovations proposed to enhance readability and understanding of the bills, without sacrificing their essential completeness, cover - says the author - "The refinement of the summary tables of consumption and paintings of simplified and harmonized in detail structure and content between the gas and electricity bills. The growing popularity of combined offers ('dual fuel') makes it necessary to standardize and homogenize the contents of the billing documents for the two services for the provision of electricity and gas, to ensure equivalent levels of transparency and clarity ".
" In light of the development of the market, it is more necessary than ever to ensure a more advanced protection for consumers, speaking further on the quality of information provided by sellers the bill and how to present them - said the President of the Italian Energy Alessandro Ortis - The bill constitutes a fundamental channel of communication between customers and suppliers and is also the main instrument in the hands of consumers to check the correct application of economic conditions with signed contracts for the supply and to decide freely and knowingly to seize every new opportunity and affordable in emerging markets liberalized.

Consumers League welcomes the proposals developed by the Authority for Electricity and Gas.
