Energy clause resources for families and businesses

The approximately 14.4 billion in resources in the two-year period 2027-2028 deriving from the use of the energy safeguard clause will be allocated "to measures in favor of families, students, businesses, public administrations and the infrastructure sector". This is written in the report to Parliament in relation to the use of the safeguard clause.

Interventions in favor of families will include a contribution for interventions compliant with the provisions of the European Commission Communications. Furthermore, measures aimed at encouraging the use of public transport by students will be envisaged.

On the business side, the action will be aimed at supporting the production of energy from renewable sources, containing energy costs for those most exposed and encouraging decarbonisation. These objectives will be pursued, among other things, through measures for photovoltaic systems, a new Energy Release, the strengthening of hydroelectric production capacity and the promotion of biomethane.

As for public administrations, energy efficiency and the development of renewable sources in public buildings and structures will be promoted, with particular reference to the structures of the National Health Service, school and university buildings and sports facilities. As for transport, investments in railway infrastructure that contribute to the development of sustainable mobility will be financed.
