San Marino. Rf: “Energy: what will be the prices of utilities in the coming winter?”
Energy: what are the utility prices for next winter?
Arselo is Repubblica Futura, which addresses a series of questions to the Government.
On 21 June, the Authority for Energy, responsible for setting the price of utilities, as regards gas, after having stated that it would be unthinkable to bind AAAS to negative financial statements and to sales of natural gas at a price lower than the purchase price. , since the Authority – by its constitutive law (L120 / 2001) – has to harmonize the general objectives of a social nature with the economic-financial objectives of the managers, declares to consider “contrary to the social and economic logic that guided the drafting of the previous resolves (2/2021) the possibility of outlining the new tariff system with the constraint of having to smooth out the 2022 economic balance of the operator in the remaining 6 months only which, with the winter months behind them, would lead to percentages that are neither economically nor socially sustainable. “
For his part, the Secretary of State with delegation to AASS last June 26, on the occasion of the meeting with the Algerian Minister responsible for gas, declared: “A relationship cultivated over the years and which aims to become very concrete in the coming months, also by virtue of the simplification that the existing Italian infrastructure could already guarantee “.
On 9 September Marco Affronte, President of the Energy Authority, declared: “Now we are working on electricity and we will see if and how to intervene. We will also seek confrontation with the institutions, because they are also political choices ”.
On 14 October Francesco Raffaeli, Chairman of the AASS Board of Directors, declared the following: “Now we have to sign a contract for supplies and everyone has pulled back. At the moment there is no one who guarantees us gas for next year, so we are accredited as operators who buy on the market ”.
We directly use the words of the actors of the soap opera rates for major demands: WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?
A week ago, the International Monetary Fund praised San Marino’s energy policies, stating that in 2023 the increases in energy will be passed on to users.
On Friday 14 October, between a selfie, a scrape and a laugh at the Rally Legend, the government notifies the monstrous increase in bills.
Totally disregarded public declarations and resolutions of various kinds, it is even discovered by President AASS that AT THE MOMENT SAN MARINO NOT HANITORI FOR 2023.
The Secretary of Tourism prepares the lights for Christmas and the Secretary with responsibility for AASS, who should be a colleague of his in the Congress of State – which in turn should deliberate collectively – invokes the sense of responsibility of the individual in energy saving. More or less we are like last summer: taps closed for the people and the state that water the roundabouts of Canti.
After the illogical thread of the considerations of those who govern the country and those who have responsibility for the energy sector, Repubblica Futura is greatly worried. The impression is of a great, sensational tilt.
If you confirm the rumors of tumultuous meetings inside the AASS, all of which are naturally classified, the happy times in which the Network Councilors walked the corridors of the company to perceive the drafts from the doors are over.
For the moment the President of the Authority for Energy has disappeared from the radar, and the President of the Board of Directors of AASS Raffaelli says things that in a normal country would involve his immediate resignation and the urgent summoning of political and social forces. If we are not here, who will supply us with gas for next winter, does the government plan to heat us with wood from the Borgo roundabout?
Repubblica Futura is evaluating all the institutional initiatives to be implemented in the run-up to the next session of the Great and General Council.
Certainly the energy problem is not just in San Marino. However, we note that those who lead the energy sector, AASS and Authorities, are absolutely inadequate to manage the current situation.
One last secretary at Lonfernini. Stop shooting random figures and making ridiculous comparisons. What we have in front of us is not a joke. So be clear with the population, as all the governments of Europe are: tell what the situation is, explain correctly if the next gas will be supplied for next winter and by whom, how much reasonably we will have to pay, at what levels today the tariffs and at what levels they can reach in order not to jeopardize the survival of the AASS, clarify the need for savings, know how to develop tariffs for those who save on consumption and further incentives the production of energy from renewable sources by companies and individuals: in short, be honest and realistic and demonstrate that you are able to handle the issue in a serious way.
We are experiencing a perfect storm that is risky for the country and its economic survival and social cohesion.
RF responsibly collects the fears of citizens and already in the days will start meetings with the main actors of the national economic system to identify a way out of this dangerous situation.
