This is thanks to the Iren Group's choice to activate the 2023-2024 District Heating Bonus for customers.
Although the energy context has changed positively compared to previous years, with the prices of raw materials returning to pre-crisis levels, the Iren company has nevertheless decided to activate the Bonus, with a discount paid entirely by the Group, giving concrete support to its customers, with particular attention to those in economic difficulty.
