Coop Alleanza 3.0 responds to families’ difficulties with two fixed electricity and gas tariffs

Coop Alleanza 3.0 has agreed with its subsidiary Alleanza Luce & Gas, an operator specialising in energy supply under the Accendi luce & gas brand, on an initiative to provide tangible support to its members in response to rising living costs and household bills.

Fixed tariffs

This agreement provides for the activation of two new tariffs exclusively for members of the Cooperative, fixed for 24 months – one for electricity and one for natural gas – designed to offer the most advantageous conditions on the market.

The distinguishing features of the initiative are the transparency and competitiveness of the tariff structure: the price component for the raw material (electricity and gas) was agreed at levels comparable to or even lower than those offered by the sector’s leading national operators, also containing fixed marketing costs.

The initiative guarantees members direct and ongoing savings on two essential expense items with a significant impact on household finances, in addition to the more than 162 million euros in exclusive benefits already guaranteed annually by the Cooperative. In this way, Coop Alleanza 3.0 reaffirms its cooperative principle and its historic mission of operating in the market to change its rules for the benefit of members and consumers.

Comments

"Members are the owners and the main recipients of the Cooperative’s actions: in the face of the economic difficulties that Italian families are experiencing, it is our duty to respond with concrete and effective measures," stressed the president of Coop Alleanza 3.0, Domenico Trombone. "We have always done so through a broad in-store offering, allowing people to shop across every price range, and through special initiatives such as the selection of more than 1.000 items at fixed or reduced prices, including own-brand products and items from the best-known brands. But today we are proud to be able to do so in other areas of household spending too, through companies linked to us and attentive to this issue. Companies such as Alg, whom I would like to thank on behalf of all those families who, thanks to the new offers, will be able to stabilise the cost of their bills over the next two years.”

“We are experiencing a complex energy market because of geopolitical tensions and climate-related factors. It is a period of extremely high price volatility, with gas reserves in Europe lower than in the past and potential price pressures that could last throughout the winter,” explains Filippo Di Benedetto, ceo of Alleanza luce & gas. "In view of these difficulties, which have a significant impact on household budgets, we decided to protect Coop members from a particularly costly winter with a raw-material price for gas and electricity that runs counter to market trends and is fixed not for 1 but for 2 years. This investment is in line with our vision, ‘fair electricity and gas for everyone’, and confirms how much we care about the wellbeing of our customers. Fixing the price of gas at 0,59 €/smc and electricity at 0,145 €/kWh with Accendi today is an action that will allow our members to sleep soundly this winter.”
