The 'Agrivoltaic' ministerial decree published on 13 February "sets the objective of an overall installed power of at least 1.04 GW and for an indicative production of at least 1,300 Gigawatt hours per year by 2026".
The Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto, said this at the Senate question time.
The decree, explained the minister, "promotes innovative construction solutions, with the possible coexistence of multiple land uses and with additional benefits linked to the compatibility of energy production with agricultural activities, also for the purpose of recovering land for productive use".
"The measure - said Pichetto - provides for a capital contribution, within the limit of 40% of eligible investment costs, financed with over 1 billion euros of Pnrr resources, combined with a tariff incentive - lasting 20 years - applied to production of net electricity fed into the grid".
"The registration procedures - the minister further explained -, foreseen for a total of 300 Mw, are reserved for power plants of up to 1 Mw, built by agricultural entrepreneurs and their aggregations; while the competitive procedures (for a total of 740 Mw) are dedicated to power plants any power, created by agricultural entrepreneurs and their aggregations or temporary business associations with at least one agricultural entrepreneur".
