Gas and Electricity Costs in Italy -changing supplier?

5 years ago
We have a gas & electricity supply contract with Spigas, which we were encouraged to enter into by the Agent we purchased our home in Luguria through. Since we only use our home for vacations, our annual gas and electricity consumption is very low. However, the cost is incredibly high -most of the charge is made-up of "system charges" -for example our most recent bill was for €63 -only €16 was for our actual consumption of electricity. We only used 100kWh of electricity, so our bill woks out at a staggering €0.63/kWh. By comparison our total cost per kWh in the UK is about €0.18/kWh.
Does anyone have any experience in changing suppliers in Italy and are any tariffs available for low consumption users of gas & electricity. Any advice gratefully received, in particular are there any online price comparison websites?
