Italy: CDM approves final green light to the measure simplifying renewable energy administrative procedures
Rome, November 27, 2024 – The Council of Ministers (CDM) has given its final approval to the measure that simplifies the administrative procedures for renewable energy plants. The provision aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy sources in Italy, in line with the objectives set by the National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC).
The measure introduces a number of simplifications and digitalization measures for the authorization procedures of renewable energy plants. In particular, it:
- Introduces a single authorization procedure for all renewable energy plants with a capacity of up to 50 MW;
- Extends the validity of authorizations for renewable energy plants from 20 to 30 years;
- Digitalizes the authorization process, allowing all documents to be submitted electronically;
- Establishes a “fast track” procedure for the authorization of renewable energy plants in areas of national interest.
The measure is expected to significantly reduce the time and costs required to obtain authorization for renewable energy plants. This will make it easier for companies to invest in renewable energy and contribute to the decarbonization of the Italian economy.
The Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, welcomed the approval of the measure, stating that it is “a fundamental step towards the achievement of the objectives set by the PNIEC. The simplification of administrative procedures will make it easier for companies to invest in renewable energy and contribute to the energy transition of our country.”
The measure is part of a broader package of measures that the government is implementing to promote the development of renewable energy in Italy. These measures include the establishment of a dedicated fund for renewable energy investments and the introduction of new incentives for the installation of renewable energy systems.
The government’s commitment to renewable energy is also reflected in the recent approval of the National Hydrogen Strategy. The strategy sets out a roadmap for the development of a hydrogen economy in Italy, which is seen as a key element in the decarbonization of the country’s energy system.
