Electricity and gas continue to cost less in San Marino than in Italy, and the gap is expected to hold steady into 2027 as well. That’s according to the Azienda Autonoma di Stato per i Servizi Pubblici (Aass), the state-run public utilities company, which reports that Sammarinese energy tariffs are roughly 30% lower than Italy’s regulated prices and 40% lower than the offers from major Italian providers, when comparing equivalent consumption levels.
According to the company’s forecasts, this economic advantage should be confirmed again next year, though with some differences between electricity and gas.
For 2027, electricity costs are expected to remain largely stable, while gas bills could see a 12% increase.
On the supply side, Aass has strengthened and diversified its sourcing, securing a 5.56% reduction in the spread on electricity, a cut that has already been in effect since last October.
There’s also news for customers: by November, residents will be able to opt into fixed-rate plans for electricity and gas, a solution that will let them know the price applied to their energy in advance.
Meanwhile, the Republic’s drive toward greater energy self-sufficiency continues. The Visano photovoltaic plant, expected to come online by December, will be able to cover around 7% of San Marino’s electricity needs, helping to reduce dependence on external supplies.
