According to data from a study conducted by Aceper (Association of Consumers and Producers of Renewable Energy) on a sample of over 5,000 photovoltaic systems located in 17 Italian regions, Piedmont ranks first in photovoltaic energy production and third in “virtuosity,” which refers to the ratio between the energy actually produced and the energy expected in terms of production.

“This result reflects a reality already focused on the development of renewable sources, which will be further enhanced by the actions we have initiated as the Piedmont Region to achieve the European goals for 2030,” comments Matteo Marnati, Regional Minister for the Environment and Energy. “This follows the approval of our Regional Energy and Environmental Plan on March 15, which is based on four key areas: development of renewable energy sources, reduction of energy consumption, promotion of the green economy, and the definitive establishment of a distributed generation model, which will particularly support the development of energy communities.” The minister adds, “This model will enable us to achieve energy autonomy while simultaneously meeting the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda.”

Energy communities are a strong point of regional policy: Piedmont was the first region to start this initiative, being the first in Italy to approve a regional law dedicated to it. Since December 2020, provisions and incentives have been in place to develop collective self-consumption systems from renewable sources, and currently, energy communities are being successfully tested in four areas of the region.

“Pending the release of the decree for the establishment of energy communities,” concludes the minister, “this data demonstrates our Region’s great capacity to invest in photovoltaic energy: we are only at the beginning of a path that will lead us to triple this figure by 2030.
