Eni and Q8 extend fuel price caps in Italy until end of 2026
Major energy companies Eni and Q8 have announced the extension of fuel price caps in Italy through December 31, 2026. This measure aims to mitigate the impact of rising energy costs driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and market volatility.
Eni has set specific maximum thresholds of 1.99 euros per liter for gasoline and 2.25 euros per liter for diesel, though these levels may be adjusted based on international market trends and supply logistics. In contrast, Q8 is implementing a modular approach, applying price limits that vary according to the specific operational models and supply conditions within its distribution network rather than a single national fixed price.
The decision follows requests from the Italian government to support consumers and businesses. While these caps provide relief at retail stations, industry experts note that they do not address the higher wholesale costs faced by heavy goods vehicle operators, who continue to struggle with high diesel prices and the expiration of previous excise tax reductions.
