This was stated by a senior official of the Ministry of Environmental Transformation ItalyOn Sunday, the country’s energy-intensive industries began adjusting their production to rationalize energy consumption, facing difficulties due to high energy costs.
Massimiliano Atelli, head of the ministry’s commission that evaluates the environmental impact of new renewable energy plants, said: "There are entire industrial sectors, like Glass industry And the preserves, the rationalization began in the form of authorization, albeit in silence".
He added in a lecture: "But this is not at no cost, because when production slows down, you have to think about who works in those sectors.".
Last year, Italy obtained nearly 40 percent of the gas imported from abroad from Russia.
Rome has recently concluded agreements with several alternative gas producing countries, to reduce its dependence on Moscow, knowing that half of the gas is consumed to produce electricity.
These agreements allowed Italy to quickly replenish its gas reserves, but were not enough to protect its industries from rising energy costs.
