After the cap on fuel prices at service stations, Eni announces an initiative on bills. From 1st to 24th October, through Plenitude, it will be possible to subscribe to the “Fixa Time 24 Smart” offer: it provides a 30% discount on electricity and gas fees compared to the company’s main fixed price offer, with the price of the raw material blocked for 24 months.
Eni: “Possible savings of 200 euros per year”
According to estimates released by the company, the savings would be around 100 euros per year for electricity and 100 euros for gas, for a total of around 200 euros for those who subscribe to both supplies. The figure is indicative: it depends on consumption and the characteristics of the contract. The 30% is also for the offer fees, not the entire amount of the bill, which includes other items and taxes.
The offer will be available for subscriptions made by October 24th. From what we learn, customers already served by Plenitude will also be able to join by making a product change: it will therefore not be reserved only for those arriving from another supplier.
Eni presents the measure as part of the “Eni per l’Italia” project, launched to support families in the phase of increasing energy prices. The company emphasizes its commitment to “keeping raw material prices unchanged and thus taking charge of the recent increases in supply costs”. The company also states that it will evaluate any other interventions in favor of consumers based on the evolution of the market.
To understand the actual convenience of the offer, the comparison must be made on the annual expenditure estimated based on one’s consumption, as well as on the individual price items. On the Plenitude website, the Fixa Time 24 offer currently published shows promotional conditions valid until September 30th: the details of the new promotion will have to be verified in the economic conditions available from October 1st.
Meanwhile, the first institutional endorsements are also arriving: “We hope that other companies will follow Eni on the discount on electricity and gas bills as we hoped when it made the first initiative” said the Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, speaking on SkyTG24, commenting on the company’s initiative.
The controversy with Enel and A2a: “Our offers are already lower”
A few hours later, the indirect response arrived from Enel, which issued a note recalling that one of its offers present on its website since April 2026 is “the lowest offer on the national market among the primary operators”. An offer, recalls the group, which provides a 200 euro discount per year for an average family. The same figure as Eni’s estimate, which however concerns both electricity and gas.
The response from A2A also arrived shortly, underlining that to respond to the “energy crisis of 2022 – which has recurred in recent months – since 2023 it has made available to domestic consumers an offer based on its portfolio of renewable source systems which allows the price of this energy to be fixed for 10 years”.
“A2A Energia’s Noi2 and NeN’s 10 offers provide ten-year fixed prices that are approximately 50% lower than the current levels of the average wholesale price. Already 135,000 families have signed up to these offers which have allowed significant savings. Since March 2026 a similar solution has also been offered to SMEs” underlines the company. A response, not even too indirect, to the competition’s initiative.
In this context comes the statement from Arera, the regulatory authority for energy, networks and the environment. In the fourth quarter of 2026, the electricity bill for the approximately 3 million vulnerable customers served under greater protection will increase by 37.3% compared to the previous quarter. An estimate that certainly does not allow one to sleep peacefully.
