ROME – TaRi, Rome’s waste tariff, will increase for domestic users, for the 2024-25 year, by +2.87 on an average basis. This is the content of resolution 51 that the Capitoline assembly is preparing to vote on. The increase is determined by requests from Arera, the regulatory authority for energy, networks and the environment. The control body had imposed a 14% tariff increase on the Municipality of Rome to adapt to the ‘inflation. A request that occurs regularly on a biannual basis.

“Most of these increases, however, were neutralized – explained technical sources from the Capitoline Budget Department – thanks to Ama’s internal efficiency improvement of around 40 million and by the better fight against tariff evasion “. For the 2025-26 year, the neutralization of the increases is expected. The Capitoline budget councilor, Silvia Scozzese, had recalled in the last session that on the TaRi “there has been an improvement in accrual collections, which goes from 17% in 2019 to 62% in 2023. Putting the accrual together with the residuals we see that we move from 545 million in 2019 to 724 in 2023. We have resources to manage the waste cycle and therefore look at investments positively”.
