New Rules on Authorization Procedures for Renewable Energy Plants
Friday, 29 July 2022
by Tommaso Tomaiuolo
The following article explains the introduction of new frameworks in regard to renewable energy installations in Italy according to the official decree. On July 14, the Senate renewed its confidence in the Government by definitively approving, in the text dismissed by the Chamber, the bill for the conversion, with modifications, of the Decree-Law no. 50 of

The Current PV Global Supply Chain
Friday, 08 July 2022
by Andrea Fasulo
The global solar PV supply chain has seen a big shift in geographical hubs in the last 10 years with Europe, the USA, and Japan being overtaken by Chinese production. In 12 years, the PV cells global manufacturing capacity jumped from almost 25 GW (2010) to more than 220 GW (2022), with China currently weighing up

The Ultimate Guide on Agrivoltaics in Italy
Wednesday, 06 July 2022
by Andrea Fasulo
The Italian authority has published the formal general guidelines regarding agrivoltaics. This document was developed and published within a working group coordinated by the ministry of ecological transition – the department for energy and provides precise definitions of agrivoltaic systems, separating agrivoltaics from advanced agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaic plant is the one which: i) adopts innovative integrative

Italian solar sector defines standards for agrivoltaics
Friday, 22 April 2022
by Emiliano Bellini
Italian renewable energy associations ANIE Rinnovabili, Italia Solare, and Elettricità Futura have released a joint position paper defining a series of standards for agrivoltaics projects. A document compiled by three Italian renewables associations identifies with extreme precision the area that is allowed to be used for power generation in the two most common agrivoltaics configurations — solar arrays with elevated

Thermal Energy Storage Technologies
Monday, 06 December 2021
by Andrea Fasulo
One of the greatest barriers to the green energy transition is storing surplus power generation from renewables. Many technologies are capable of this, and many others are coming into the market as well. In the figure below is possible to have an overview of the whole spectrum of storage technologies. Figure 1: Energy Storage Technologies (source) A type of technology that has not been already exploited much consists of thermal energy storage. The plants that go under that category have very high energy and power capacities, allowing them to contribute significantly to a cleaner electricity mix. In fact, due to the increasing need of storing excess electricity from renewable sources, scalable and high efficient solutions have a big potential in the future. Thermal energy storage can store energy in form of heat thanks to an electricity-to-heat system, like a heat pump, for periods of

Scientists Mapped Every Large Solar Plant
Tuesday, 16 November 2021
by Lucas Kruitwagen
An astonishing 82% decrease in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy since 2010 has given the world a fighting chance to build a zero-emissions energy system which might be less costly than the fossil-fuelled system it replaces. The International Energy Agency projects that PV solar generating capacity must grow ten-fold by 2040 if we are to meet the dual tasks

The UK price spike reveals the need to accelerate the energy transition
Thursday, 23 September 2021
by Andrea Fasulo
A few months before the electricity and gas UK price spike – a joint publication by the UK government and Ofgem was published. The energy regulators set out a work program to deliver an intelligent and highly flexible energy system that will sustain the country’s energy security and the transition to net-zero. The plan aims to reduce

Speeding up the Italian Green Revolution
Wednesday, 04 August 2021
by Andrea Fasulo
In the period 1990-2019, total greenhouse gas emissions in Italy fell by 19% (Total CO2 equivalent emissions without land use, land-use change, and forestry), going from 519 Mt CO2eq to 418 Mt CO2eq. A significant part of these comes from transportation (25%), energy production (22%), and residential and agricultural consumption (19%). The reduction represents asignificant result, but is still far from the 2030 and
