Annual PV installations

45.000 plants 400 MW/year

97% < 20 kW (tax credit and Net billing)

Trend after Conto Energia

5 successive measures (I, II, III, IV, and V Conto Energia) with decreasing tariffs, ended in July 2013

The decrease of tariff was not as fast as technology cost, thus resulting in generous incentives, which promoted an explosive growth of PV installations, with a high system cost, that reached the cap of 6,7 € bn

I Conto Energia (2005) Capacity:151 MW Avg tariff: 434 €/MWh

II Conto Energia (2007) Capacity:6,8 GW Avg tariff: 360 €/MWh

III Conto Energia (2010) Capacity:1,5 GW Avg tariff: 304 €/MWh

IV Conto Energia (2011) Capacity:7,7 GW Avg tariff: 247 €/MWh

V Conto Energia (2012) Capacity:1,4 GW Avg tariff: 134 €/MWh

After Conto Energia, reduced constant trend of 400 MW/y, due to small plants (45.000/y) with tax credit and net billing

RES impacts is calculated within the framework of a standard demand driven I-O model, suitably integrated and matched with the statistical and technical-economic data collected and analyzed by GSE

In 2017, wind and PV attracted higher investments (and “temporary” jobs, direct and indirect), hydro showed higher O&M costs (and “permanent” jobs, direct and indirect)

EVOLUTION OF RES-E: THE ROAD TOWARDS 2030

National Energy Strategy (NES 2017) defined a high target share of RES-E in 2030 (55%), with a +80% increase with respect to 2017 (from 103 TWh to 184 TWh). The higher contributions are expected from PV and wind: PV energy should triple (in the past 4 years about 400 MW/year installed; the rate should raise up to 3 GW/year); Wind energy should double

The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), under discussion, will probably be even more ambitious. NECP not only will define new targets, but also policies and measures to reach the targets.

EVOLUTION OF RES-E: THE NEW M.D. “FER1” DRAFT

The new M.D. draft aims at supporting, in the period 2019-2021, energy from new, refurbished and upgraded plants from “mature” RES: PV, onshore wind, hydro and sewage gas for a total capacity of about 8 GW (of which 7,4 GW new)

8 rounds of competitive AUCTIONS for groups of technologies (with reserves for each technology if some conditions occur) and REGISTRIES for smaller plants, with some competitive elements

Plant owners offer a % reduction of the base tariff: between 2% and 70% for auctions, and up to 30% for registries (also other criteria)

The support is mainly a Sliding FiP (“two-ways”: owner pays GSE back in case Pelectricity>Incentive tariff) and a FiT (≤100kW); premium for PV plants removing asbestos in addition to the incentive

Registries: plants < 1 MW (PV >20kW) Auctions (plants ≥ 1 MW)

Specific financial requirements:

FOCUS ON PAST AND FUTURE WIND AUCTIONS Onshore wind auctions base tariffs and offers range

Increase in percentage reductions offered over the four past wind bidding sessions (all plants offered the maximum allowed reduction in 2016 session, 40% of the base tariff)

Promotion of competitiveness and reduction of system cost

The tariff resulting from the latest auction is comparable and can be even lower than the current and future energy price

ITALIAN EXPERIENCE: LESSON LEARNED

Tips for efficient RES development:

• Stable framework, guarantee continuity and “certainty” of RES policies, in a long-term perspective

- Set long term RES targets

- Promote a progressive development, consistent with the national context

- Define efficient authorization procedures

- Promote a consistent development of the electricity grid

- Minimize country/investment risk, encouraging foreign investors

• “Tune” incentives finely

- Incentive may distort the market: too generous tariffs can determine speculative behaviors rather than development

- Set fair tariffs, if necessary and plan progressive reduction

- Promote competitive schemes, like auctions

• Monitor results:

- RES deployment and track towards targets

- Provide feedback to policy makers and eventually adjust support schemes
