The increase in electricity in July for Sardinian campsites is close to 300% . A bloodletting that risks sending them ko despite the return to pre-Covid numbers.
This was communicated by Faita Sardegna, the association of campsites that also highlights the paradox of a leading sector in the non-consumption of the soil but penalized precisely by the lack of overbuilding.
"As we do not have important covered areas , we cannot invest in renewable energy such as photovoltaics - says the president of Faita Sardegna , Nicola Napolitano , with regret - forcing us, who make respect for the environment our strong point, to supply ourselves from more polluting energy sources. as well as more expensive for our budgets ".
The out-of-control increase in electricity significantly affects the budgets of outdoor tourism activities . "A cost that we entrepreneurs are taking on - specifies the president of Faita - because we cannot pass it on to customers and have coffee pay four euros instead of one overnight. Especially during the current season when we had already drawn up the new price lists with about the same prices as in previous years ".
The camping association appeals to national and regional institutions . "An immediate public intervention is necessary to contain the costs in the bill - says Nicola Napolitano - perhaps in the form of a tax credit ". At the same time, "it is also necessary to guarantee our facilities the installation of photovoltaic panels for the production of clean energy that allows us to reduce costs. At this moment we feel discriminated against as we cannot even think of light shading structures where to install them" .
