Communicate, explain how and what to do to grow renewable energy communities. In small steps, the Ministry of the Environment, GSE and the Energy Authority are proceeding to achieve objectives written for years in the documents on the energy transition.
The last measure is a decree directorate with the operational rules for accessing the preferential tariffs and capital contributions provided for by the Pnrr. Era expected. The Cers are leaving the Stand by accumulated and want to reach the new energy frontier in Italy. He defines it that way too Vinicius Moses Vigilante, CEO of the GSE.
What concrete has been done with the new provision? “The publication of the operating rules is a further step towards the development of the Communities, which today represent the new frontier of renewables”. The system is improving, so keep an eye on the release date.8th April “when the platforms through which it will be possible to submit applications for admission to the incentive rates will be made known”.
A tour with businesses, citizens and local authorities
The GSE is preparing to accompany the Ministry of the Environment in the "InsiemEnergia" initiative, a tour of Italy for the Cers based on communication, promotion and assistance to facilitate operators in understanding the incentive mechanisms. The expectation is great and transversal - from the world of work to local authorities - for the investments it will set in motion and for the systemic repercussions on the production and distribution of clean sources.
It will be widespread self-consumption but also the affirmation of a principle of solidarity between those who assume the identity of a cluster modern and challenging on environmental issues. The first stop of the tour will be Bologna. But we, add the GSE, will also create a tool through which it will be possible to simulate the creation of an energy community or a self-consumption group and calculate, in addition to costs and economic benefits, the initial investment and return times.
The effects on the national energy balance
On January 24, the "mother decree" for the Cers came into force. The heart of the decree, long requested by entrepreneurs and citizens, lies in a single incentive tariff for the entire national territory and a capital contribution up to 40% of the expenses incurred in municipalities under five thousand inhabitants.
The awareness raising that the authorities have undertaken to do is positive in giving communities the opportunity to generate energy with the next winter season. In practice we should have the first positive effects already on the national energy balance of 2024. In addition to using the Pnrr measures within a reasonable time.
