Overview
- The latest draft sets a one‑off €55 electricity credit in 2026 for households with ISEE up to €15,000 or with at least four children and ISEE up to €20,000.
- About 4.5 million households would be covered at an estimated cost of €250 million, funded through the CSEA rather than the state budget.
- For low‑voltage SMEs, the text foresees a 2026 cut to the Asos component worth roughly €11.5 per MWh, with a projected cost of around €750 million from CSEA resources.
- A structural option under study would reprofile up to €5–6 billion per year of system charges via long‑term CDP bonds, lowering bills in the near term but increasing total costs through interest.
- Implementation remains pending Council of Ministers consideration and ARERA decisions, with cabinet timing reported as accelerated but not yet confirmed.
