An abyss of competitiveness caused by energy prices: Confartigianato is clear. A warning to the government to do something more not to depress small businesses. In order not to sink, beyond the political promises, the main indication is for the photovoltaic systemsthe. If you choose photovoltaic companies have a available driver of the green transition and they can run again. The installation of systems above the company buildings also allows for a reduction in soil consumption. Always current theme. The minister Piquet Fratin in yesterday's question time in the House on the specific point he said that the technicians are at work to arrive at a framework proposal. In another question from the Greens on issues related to renewables, the Minister did not provide any date on the expected measures. We want to "guarantee the installation of an additional 80 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030". Everything, however, everything remains shrouded in thick fog. Meanwhile, Confartigianato continues ad analyze the effects of the cost of energy on Italian companies. Studies and insights in the direction of the greater diffusion of renewable sources of which the premier Giorgia Meloni – strangely - he speaks little, although the topic bounces from one international summit to another. Does the center-right believe it or not?
Confartigianato studies the territory
Not far from an internal study, Confagricoltura presented a specific analysis on the Marches. The organization's research office maintains that if 60% of the artisan warehouses were equipped with a photovoltaic system, self-sufficiency of electricity consumption in the Region would be achieved. In the second half of 2022, in Italy the reference prices for micro and small enterprises for electricity consumption have exceeded by 60% the Eurozone average. Last year, construction and service manufacturing firms generated nearly 10 GWh of electricity from 153 thousand photovoltaic systems. The interesting fact that encourages putting solar panels on warehouses is that more than a third of what was produced with the sun was self-consumed. Neither are they to be overlooked investments private. The numbers of the Marches are the observation that in certain areas a lot can be done to at least grasp two goalsi : increase the challenge on the markets due to decreasing energy costs and reduce soil consumption to leave the fields to cultivate to those who want. On this terrain, the opposition of the No committees should also be reduced. The alibi of the centre-right with respect to things to do would be lost.
Prices and the European market
The energy crisis, associated with a divergent dynamics of energy prices and a fragmentation of fiscal policy interventions in Europe have opened a chasm of competitiveness for Italian companies, comments Confagricoltura. Our small businesses are the protagonists of EU manufacturing, with exports which in 2023 are worth 636,2 billion euros: more or less a third of GDP. Considering that the framework of thenational economy is made up of medium-sized enterprises also the relative drop in prices in progress is transformed into a good lever to switch to renewables. Energy price variations have different effects among European countries. The situation after the aggression against Ukraine is as if it had left the governments free to do things necessity virtue. Standing still or postponing as happens in Rome is not virtuous at all. The state of affairs affects the whole EU electricity market, although oriented in perspective to non-fossil sources. "The draft of the new Integrated Text on Electricity Dispatching (TIDE) is a fundamental element for building a modern electricity system, capable of supporting environmental objectives and as integrated as possible at European level" reads the last Position Paper of the REF Research Laboratory. There is a need to rewrite the rules of the game which through a thousand interweaving reach small entrepreneurs. All in less than a year, then we vote for the new European Parliament.
