The Antitrust Authority has imposed
fines of over 15 million euros on Italian energy firms Enel
Energia, Eni Plenitude, Acea Energia, Iberdrola Clienti Italia,
Dolomiti Energia and Edison Energia, the authority said Tuesday.
According to the Authority, the six companies adopted aggressive
commercial practices by conditioning consumers to accept
increases in electricity and gas prices, contrary to the
regulatory protection deriving from Article 3 of the Aiuti bis
business aid Decree.
The regulation had banned increases in a context of serious
problems in the energy sector with significant cost increases,
the authority said.
