Italy's cabinet approved a measure on Monday to reimburse gas-fired power plants for part of their fuel costs, Bloomberg reported, citing an Energy Ministry statement. The plan seeks to limit the impact of surging energy prices on households and businesses ahead of a general election next year.

The decree had been delayed twice in recent weeks while officials worked through funding and technical issues.
