Italy will approve a decree this week introducing a cap of around €60 ($67.38) per megawatt hour on Natural Gas prices for gas-fired power stations. The measure follows an agreement with European Union authorities to lower electricity costs for households and businesses. High gas costs have driven up energy bills across the region.
