High and rising energy costs are
putting Italy's economic recovery at risk, Confindustria said
Monday.
The industrial employers federation underlines "the growing
concern of Italian industry for the current energy prices that
put industrial recovery at risk and could further slow down
investments in process innovation needed to accelerate the
energy transition", said the delegate of the president of
Confindustria for energy, Aurelio Regina, in a hearing at the
Lower House in front of the joint Budget and Environment
committees.
Italy "remains the most expensive electricity market in Europe"
he said, and warned: "Italian companies are not able to support
the current competitiveness gap, therefore suitable tools are
needed to keep industrial plants running".
