Non-methanized areas

For Municipalities not supplied with methane or having fractions not supplied with methane, falling in Climate Zone E as identified by the legislation in force, the application of an economic benefit consisting in the reduction of the cost of diesel and LPG for the end user is envisaged.

The Local Authorities interested in the application of the benefit must identify the areas of the municipal territory not supplied with methane with a resolution of the City Council.

The Municipality of Milan has done so on the basis of the methane status provided by Unareti S.p.A., manager of the natural gas distribution network. In the box Normative References present on this page it is possible to download and consult the resolution that approved the list of Non-Methane Areas.

With resolution no. 43 of 13/12/2018 the City Council then approved the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy (P.A.E.S.)  

End users of municipalities not supplied with methane or with non-methanized fractions, falling in Climate Zone E, are entitled to a reduction in the cost of diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Currently the amount of the benefits is equal to:

  • diesel fuel €0,12256 for each litre
  • LPG €0,15101 for each kilogram.

To take advantage of the benefits you must:

  1. check the cartography and the list - both available in the box Attachments - if the user for whom the tax relief is requested is in a non-methane area
  2. fill out a declaration in lieu of the affidavit according to the form provided by the supplier
  3. deliver the declaration directly to the company supplying the fuel, which will provide it at a discounted price. It is advisable that the citizen also keeps a copy of the documentation.

The SEAP - Action Plan for Sustainable Energy - constitutes the planning and programming document for policies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and identifies the actions that the Administration must implement to achieve the set objective of 20% reduction in CO2 by 2020.

Among the actions contemplated by the SEAP, the measures and initiatives aimed at redeveloping, from an energy point of view, private buildings, particularly residential, are of great importance, both through the transformation of the systems (particularly diesel) and through interventions on the 'casing.
