Light and gas. In Italy in 2024 each family spent about 2,130 euros

The transition from the free market to the protected market, regarding electricity and gas, He determined an indisputable change for Italians. Among those who declare that they are satisfied with the offers signed with their own users and those who, if you could, would return to the old formula, an investigation conducted by Easy.ITrelating to the costs that have been incurred by Italian families for users in 2024.

The purpose of this analysis is not to make a comparison between the two different types of the market, also considering theThe fact that 2024 was a year of transition for electricity, given that the end of the protected market took place on 30 June.

Beyond The data, the data collected during this investigation are particularly significant, especially in light of the differences in electricity and gas costs (sometimes even higher than 100 euros per year) between the various regions of Italy.

From the information acquired during the detection show that, on the subject of electricity, the Region in which During 2024 he spent less was Molise, with about 743 euros per family. Instead, the region with a higher average cost was Sardinia, with an average of 903 euros per family.

The latter data It appears, if not strange, at least difficult to understand. We would expect greater costs in regions in which the cost of living is greater. However, the primacy of the Nuraghi region is due, paradoxically, to its backwardness in terms of gas heating, which is compensated with greater use of electricity. It is estimated that, compared to the national average, in Sardinia the cost for light is greater than 14%.

As for the gas, however, the region in which a lower cost was detected is Sicily, with an average of about 882 euros. On the contrary, the region in which a higher cost was found is Emilia-Romagna, with an average cost of about 1,613 euros per family.

Nationally, considering the surveys made in all regions Out of about 770,000 users, the report made by Facile.it shows that in 2024 there was an average expenditure of about 791 euros for the light, while for the gas the average cost detected is around 1,339 euros, thus determining an average expenditure overall equal to about 2,130 for each family unit. Practically more than a mid -level thirteenth.
