“Italy’s first #agrivoltaic tenders draws bids for 1.7 GW” “Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) says it has received 643 bids totaling 1.7 GW in its first agrivoltaic tender. About 56% of the proposals have come from the country’s sunny southern regions.” SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 - MASSIMILIANO TRIPODO From pv magazine Italy “The auction is open to projects of any size from #agricultural entrepreneurs or groups with at least one agricultural operator involved.” “Only agrivoltaic projects with #verticalmountingstructures or #highefficiencyPVmodules can participate. Selected developers will receive rebates covering up to 40% of installation costs and #feedintariffs for energy fed into the #grid .” https://lnkd.in/eUdtBFPr Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

🤝 Following the release of the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers’ Meeting Communiqué, newcleo CEO Stefano Buono comments: “We warmly welcome the results of the G7 energy and climate meeting. The support for nuclear energy and the phase out of coal by 2035 go hand in hand, as nuclear energy will easily substitute coal in industrial heating and electricity generation applications.      The leadership of the Italian presidency and of Minister Pichetto Fratin in this process demonstrates the Italian government’s commitment to bringing nuclear energy back to Italy’s energy mix.      newcleo hosted the signing of the joint statement by the G7 nuclear industrial associations, showing we are ready to team up with the Italian supply chain to deliver on Italy’s ambitions to bring nuclear energy back.       If the regulatory framework is set up rapidly, we could expect to deploy the first SMRs in Italy by 2033, an ambitious timeline that is well within the requirements of the energy transition and 2050 net zero targets.      We plan to continue to hire extensively in Italy, and to progress our expansion both organically and through M&A activity, wherever the right opportunities present themselves, in this country or elsewhere. We once again applaud these efforts and are ready to do our part to help Italy rebuild its nuclear capabilities, whilst also continuing our work in countries with existing nuclear energy capabilities.”     #G7 #NewNuclear #Decarbonisation #SMRs #Nuclear     https://lnkd.in/dNxyDJ7n

𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 The nel law , D.L. Agricoltura, effective from 16 May 2024, redefines the installation of photovoltaic systems on agricultural land. In agricultural area you can Install Agrivoltaic Systems, and for ground are permissible under specific conditions as below. The heart of this legislative revolution lies in Article 5, which introduces a new paragraph 1-bis to Article 20 of Legislative Decree 199/2021. This pivotal change outlines the conditions under which ground-mounted photovoltaic installations are permitted in agricultural zones: - 𝑬𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏: Existing installations can undergo modifications or upgrades without increasing their footprint. - 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑼𝒏𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔: Photovoltaic systems are allowed on lands once occupied by quarries and mines, now dormant. - 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒔: Areas under the jurisdiction of railway, highway, or airport authorities are suitable for solar installations. - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑰𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆: A novel approach allowing installations within 500 meters of industrial plants, termed as the “Solar Plant Bel.” - 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔: Agricultural lands within 300 meters of highways are also eligible for photovoltaic projects. 🛡️ Safeguarding Progress: The decree ensures the continuation of: Projects aimed at establishing Renewable Energy Communities (CER), initiatives under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), and ongoing. ps. As the decree moves through Parliament, amendments are expected within the next 60 days.

NEW PUBBLICATION!! by Vladislav Malashevskyy Europe’s Decarbonization and (De)Industrialization While the power generation sector has made significant progress in reducing emissions, with the share of fossil fuels in the EU(27) energy mix decreasing to around 70% in terms of primary energy consumption (figure 1), the industrial sector requires equal attention to achieve the EU’s climate goals. The recent IETA European Climate Summit, which I was able to attend, played a crucial role in highlighting this often overlooked challenge of decarbonizing Europe’s industrial sector while maintaining its competitiveness.

📢 We welcome the publication of the report from Enrico Letta, for the European Council, on the Internal Market and strengthening Europe's competitiveness.    In the section on energy and climate, the report emphasises the significance of smart meters and advanced grids, and the link between cybersecurity and strategic investment control. The report highlights that:   1️⃣ ⚡ ensuring a cleaner, more digitalized, and decentralized energy system requires robust measures beyond the ''enforcement of the existing framework for securing critical energy infrastructure'' and ''cybersecurity measures are always and very rigorously incorporated in procurement for new infrastructure''.   2️⃣ 🔓 effective implementation of rules on foreign direct investment control in strategic sectors is crucial. This safeguards against potential security risks by third-country investments in key energy infrastructure. #Cybersecurity #EUCompetitiveness #EnergySecurity #SingeMarket #FairCompetition

The first AIAS - Associazione Italiana Agrivoltaico Sostenibile General Assembly has just ended. It was exciting to discuss with other members the most topical issues of the agri-PV development in Italy and the objectives that the Association intends to pursue in its evolution, just over a year after its foundation. The climate of deep cooperation and open confrontation for the pursuit of common goals, beyond the interests of individual stakeholders, was a source of great confidence for the future of agro-PV development in Italy. Our sincere thanks go to AIAS and its President Alessandra Scognamiglio for offering us this unique opportunity to exchange views and for allowing representatives from the electricity sector, agronomists, academics, institutions and the financial sector to put their respective skills at the service of a national and European advancement of knowledge on Agri-PV. #GeneralAssembly #AgriVoltaics #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #InnovoRenewables
