Did you know that 10-15% more users who didn’t pay their bills would blow everything up? And this thanks to a ruling wanted by the electricity companies

Do you know that the breaking point of the billing system is, in reality, probably much lower than what is believed, and all due to a sentence of the Council of State strongly desired by the energy supply companies?

A 2018 ARERA decision stipulated that unpaid bills by defaulting users could be spread on serious users, who pay them. A frankly unfair decision that punished honest consumers with the aim of safeguarding the profits of electricity companies, especially private ones. Therefore, a decision of the Council of State of 2020 established that a series of parafiscal costs, such as the RAI fee in the bill, can also be passed on to honest customers who, therefore, find themselves paying someone else's television license fee. .

However, this is a perfect system when there are few dishonest ones, but one that jumps like the cork of a bottle of sparkling wine as soon as energy prices, as now, become intolerable and more people find themselves unable to pay their bills: in fact, the customers of the Honest energy companies will find themselves not only having to pay their own, much more expensive bills, but also having to pay an increasing share of the high bills of defaulting customers. How long can such a system last before even virtuous customers, burdened at this point by intolerable bills, stop paying? 10% more in default? The 15% ? Or 20%?

Therefore, it is necessary to stop this devastating vicious circle as soon as possible, which risks wiping out all consumers due to a rule desired by greedy, but shortsighted companies, which are now in the hands of a minority of consumers.
