The government's new energy decree should reduce bills for 2026. While we wait to evaluate its effects, one question arises: how much did Italian families pay for electricity and gas last year?
An answer comes from an analysis by Facile.it, according to which the average cost for residential customers with free market supply at an indexed rate in 2025 was €2,055, only slightly lower than in 2024, but much higher than in 2018, when it was less than €1,200. Therefore, it almost doubled in just a few years.
The gas bill weighed the most heavily on Italians' pockets, reaching an average of 1,316 euros, while consumers had to budget just under 740 euros for electricity.
Looking at electricity bills alone, especially since gas isn't an option here, Sardinia is the region with the highest bill: on the island, families consumed an average of 2,751 kWh, spending €826, 12% more than the national average.
