"With the Senate's vote of confidence in the Energy Security Decree, the process of a measure long awaited by offshore wind energy companies comes to a positive conclusion. The commitment of the Government and Parliament in defining the path for the creation of the infrastructure necessary for the many energy projects must be underlined. offshore wind, with the specific article dedicated to ports and logistics to support offshore renewables".
Fulvio Mamone Capria, president of the Offshore Renewable Energy Association, Aero, comments with satisfaction.
"It will be important now - continued Mamone Capria - to identify the resources necessary to provide Italy with porticoes that can adapt their shipbuilding capacity for the construction and assembly of floating foundations and wind turbines, thus starting the planned selection of the most suitable port areas "A scenario that can redeem areas of industrial crisis, providing an extraordinary hiring plan, and which will have as its final objective the production of tens of gigawatts of renewable power. A potential that can also be transformed into green hydrogen, meeting the most ambitious and innovative challenges at a European level." .
"We also thank all the parliamentarians - concluded the president of Aero - who have allowed, by amending the text of the bill, the elimination of a foreseen tax of 10 euros per kW for the first 3 years of operation to be paid by the renewable projects that would have been authorized in the three-year period 2024-26. An unsustainable economic burden for those who are investing, as in offshore wind, huge resources in studies, research, environmental impact assessments and scoping. On the contrary, precisely for offshore wind, it will be necessary to work on the Fer2 and on the adaptation of the incentives for inflationary dynamics, in line with what has been done for other classic renewable sources, to avoid that this uncertainty, which worries investors, could slow down and block investments".
