Why It Matters
The article describes the initiatives of Enel and Eni to offer discounts on electricity and gas to Italian families, in a context of rising energy prices monitored by the European Union.
Enel's fixed price "Digital light" offer, lasting two years, with its 108 euros/MWh for the energy component "is approximately 50% lower than the wholesale market price, also considering the offers launched today by competitors". The company underlines this in a note: "It is the lowest offer on the national market among the primary operators. For the average family (2MWh per year) a discount of 200 euros per year compared to the wholesale price". The offer, it is explained, "has been present on the Enel website since April 2026".
The initiatives
In addition to Enel's, there are other proposals that cater to consumers. Eni, after the cap on diesel and petrol prices at Enilive service stations, is offering discounts on electricity and gas. In fact, from 1 October - the company announced - a new contribution will be offered to Italian families as part of the Eni for Italy initiative, to support citizens in dealing with high energy prices.
The EU's alarm
The initiatives for Italy are part of a context of growing price increases. "There is no doubt that we are approaching a winter that will be challenging. We do not foresee any problems with the security of supply" of energy "but we do foresee very high prices." This was said by the EU energy commissioner, Dan Jorgensen, underlining that even if there were "not a real problem of security of supply, it will be the same thing for those who cannot afford the fuel". The EU - he added - is "therefore evaluating all ideas on how to make the rules more flexible, to make them more efficient".
