The European Commission announced that it has approved a €23 billion state aid program by Italy to support the deployment of renewable electricity generation, aimed at accelerating the country’s energy transition and helping meet EU renewable energy targets.
The program will support the construction of installations that generate electricity using onshore wind, solar power, hydropower, and sewage gas, which are anticipated to add more than 37 GW of renewable electricity capacity – equivalent to approximately 48% of current RES capacity in Italy.
