Italian electricity bills could rise nearly 51% in November and December
A typical Italian household with an indexed-price electricity contract could face much higher bills in November and December, according to an estimate by Facile.it.
The estimate assumes annual electricity use of 2,000 kilowatt-hours and applies to customers in Italy’s free electricity market.
Without action in the government’s planned bill decree, the household’s bills could be nearly 51% higher over those two months than in the same period last year.
The forecast puts the bill at about €84 in November and €91 in December, or roughly €59 more across both months than a year earlier.
Bills had already risen year on year in September and October, bringing the possible extra cost from September through December to €99.
The estimate depends on energy-price forecasts, and the decree’s details were still unknown; the decree was expected that day after several delays.
Facile.it estimates that a typical Italian household’s electricity bills could be nearly 51% higher in November and December than in the same months of 2025.
The estimate assumes no intervention from a new government bill decree and an indexed-price contract in the free market.
The expected bills are about 84 euros in November and 91 euros in December.
Together, the projected increases in those two months amount to about 59 euros compared with a year earlier.
Including increases recorded in September and October, the additional spending from September through December could reach 99 euros.
