Gas last resort supply service
What is the Last Resort Supply Service?
The Last Resort Supply Service is activated by the territorially competent distributor in certain situations where a final customer is without a supplier while remaining connected to the network and therefore able to continue withdrawing gas.
In such cases, the gas supply is assigned to a specific supplier, selected by the Single Buyer through an auction (namely, the Last Resort Supplier LRS), which must then operate according to the regulations established by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks, and the Environment (hereinafter referred to as "ARERA"), including the economic conditions to be applied.
In particular, the Last Resort Supply Service can be activated in the following situations:
- In the case of non-disconnectable supplies that find themselves without a supplier for any reason (non-disconnectable supplies refer to those that provide public services, as defined in Article 2.3, letter c of Annex A to the ARERA Resolution ARG/Gas 64/09 and subsequent amendments, "Integrated Text of retail sales activities of natural gas and gases other than natural gas distributed through urban networks," hereinafter referred to as "ITRG");
- In case of disconnectable supplies that find themselves without a supplier due to reasons beyond their control (administrative cessation for reasons other than arrears or in the event of the termination of the distribution contract between the previous supplier and the local distributor) related to residential customers, residential condominiums with consumption not exceeding 200,000 Smc per year, or other uses with consumption not exceeding 50,000 Smc per year.
