Italy Publishes the National Renewable Energy Action Plan
09 July 2010
The Italian National Renewable Energy Action Plan was published by the Ministry of Economic Development on the 10th of June, 2010. The document was drawn up with the help of the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea and the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies.
Following the EU Directive 2009/28/CE, the plan sets up strategies and action lines in order to reach the national target of 17% energy produced by renewable sources by 2020. In particular, renewable energy shares in transport, electricity, and heating and cooling should reach 6,38%, 28,97% and 15,83%, respectively. This result would need to see an increase in the use of hydro, wind, solar and geothermal power as well as biomass, and changes in the current incentive mechanisms.
The statistical, technical, economic and environmental monitoring will be carried out by the three Ministries with operational support by the GSE (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici), which will implement a proper system for renewable energy monitoring, called SIMERI.
