The funds that the government allocates against the high bills in the new decree, whose approval is expected for this afternoon, during the Cdm convened at 15.30, rose to approximately 7.5 billion, compared to the 6.5 previously assumed.
This is what emerges from the control room in which the serene returned in the majority, after yesterday's curse by Prime Minister Mario Draghi, on a rampage because the government had gone under the Milleproroghe 4 times.
On the one hand, the measure will replicate for the second quarter the measures to contain the increases in electricity and gas prices for households and businesses already adopted in the first quarter. On the other hand, it will introduce structural interventions for the storage and increase of national gas production.
OTHER MEASURES - The energy decree also includes other measures.
Funds to municipalities to cover extra-costs for bills and ad hoc resources for sports facilities and swimming pools in particular, among the most affected by the mix between Covid restrictions and expensive bills. The resources for sport will be around 100 million.
Another 400 million euros arrive for Covid expenses of the Regions to cope with the fourth wave and for the increase in the energy bill for health facilities, an intervention strongly urged by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.
And there is also a single multi-year fund for the automotive sector, primarily at the request of Giancarlo Giorgetti. An allocation of 800 million is expected in 2022, which will then rise to one billion a year.
