Italian power regulator ARERA said
Thursday that the nation's already sky-high electricity prices
are set to go up even more, with the average family's bill
rising by 59%.
It said that without extraordinary measures to curtain the rise,
the increase would have been 100%.
The government has allocated over 60 billion euros this year to
measures to soften the impact of soaring energy prices.
ARERA Energy Division Director Massimo Ricci said Thursday that
Italy was set to have energy bills that had "never been seen
before".
