Energyear Italy 2023

Incentives and more flexibility are needed to develop the full potential of the renewable sector in Italy


The industry's top-rated networking event, Energyear Italy 2023, began with a general overview of the renewable energy sector in the country, especially the latest regulatory plans and how they influence the development of projects, for example on issues such as agrivoltaics, a technique that is key to the evolution of solar energy in Italy.

Alberto Cuter, General Manager LATAM & Italy of Jinko Solar; Paolo Meneghini, President and Managing Director of A2A Energy Solutions; Massimo Poli, Country Manager of Smartenergy; Stefano Scazzola, Head of Renewable Energies development of ENGIE; and Filippo Malvezzi, Commercial Director of Vector Renewables, talked about the Italian renewable energy market, its key updates, resilience and future perspectives.

From different points of view, the experts highlighted the work that has been done in Italy in recent years and how it has developed especially in the field of solar energy, but acknowledged that the latest regulations show that it is necessary to continue working on incentives that provide companies with facilities to carry out their projects. They also pointed out the importance of using mechanisms that adapt to the current situation and provide greater flexibility to the market.

For Cuter, current regulation is insufficient. Large projects need more stringent measures and restrictions to be removed so that the private sector can boost the country's renewable landscape. Meneghini agreed with Cuter, but stressed that all the work that is being done now is helping to solve the failures of the system, although more work needs to be done. He also highlighted the work that has been done in promoting self-consumption of solar energy.

Scazziola stressed that the renewable energy market must be encouraged because it changes very quickly and an ironclad system does not help to meet the objectives that the sector has set itself, which is why he said that the flexibility of the system is an essential factor in this development, including providing depth to the PPA market.

For Poli, the new regulation is trying to restructure a kind of market that has been working without any kind of regulation for about 10 years. He also pointed out that, in addition to agrovoltaics, more facilities should be given to projects that do not carry out this practice. Finally, Poli highlighted some important data: 130 GW of grid-connected solar are now present in Italy, with 60 GW being authorised at both regional and national level.
