A bill from A2A Energia arrived yesterday but we had never made a contract with them. The former supplier ENEL said the government had told them to move rural customers to A2A. ENEL moved the contract back again. It is a strange thing moving supplier without informing the customer.

Only in Italy could that happen 😂😅😅

For GPL for the bombolone you will be paying a bit less than the GPL at the petrol station. At the moment it would cost about 80 cents a litre (IVA included)

I paid €500 for 502L last Wednesday.

Yikes, I paid 720 for 800 litres a month ago.

Isn't it the other way around? I remember comparing my mains gas with my parents GPL bills a few years ago and it was about 3 times more expensive for them per unit.

The cost of gas is fixed at 0,479694 euro/Smc for May 2023. The cost to the consumer of GPL is around €3/Smc making it about 6times more expensive(3.8litres of GPL in 1Smc).
You could make quite a good business out that difference.

I dont doubt the figures, but would say that with mains gas you have all the associated standing charges and whatnot which puts your bill up alot. With GPL (and those of us who have GPL dont generally have the option for mains gas) you pay for the gas, and thats it.
As with electricity a difference in unit price between suppliers means virtually nothing when you still have all the other oneri on your bill. Personally I object to paying for Benettons photovoltaic panels which Renzi so helpfully made a domestic user pay for.

I checked my ENI bill for Jan -Feb and 80smc of gas cost €102. That makes 1smc cost €1.275 including fixed costs. Thats around 30cents a litre. Still quite a bit cheaper than GPL.
