PV production in the generation mix
In 2016 electricity generation by PV plants was 22,1 TWh, lower than the previous year (-3,6%), mainly because of the radiation decrease (-3,9%)
Preliminary elaboration of 2017 data (Gen-Aug) indicate conversely a significant increase with respect to 2016 (7-8%)

Historical PV development in Italy
In the past years, the number and capacity of PV plants grew at a very sustained pace.
More than 550.000 plants for 17,7 GW were realized under the Energy Accounts support schemes
By the end of 2016 more than 730,000 PV plants were installed, for a total power of 19.3 GW
PV share in renewable capacity: 2008 vs 2016
Number and capacity of PV plants
In 2008 PV capacity was about 2% of the total renewable capacity installed in Italy. In 2016 this share became 37%

PV self-consumptions
PV self-consumption amounts to 4,3 TWh in 2016 , 35% of net generation produced by PV plants with self-consumption, which is in turn almost half of total net generation
Almost all domestic plants have a self-consumption quota (30% on average). These plants are usually small in size (C<=20 kW) under net bil l ing scheme, which can limit self-consumption by mitigating the cost of grid exchange
Industry sector includes power companies (that generate electricity only to fed to the grid)

Incentive cost in 2016 (bn €)
• Total cost: 15,9 € bn
• Revenue: 1,5 € bn
• Burden on consumers: 14,4 € bn
In 2016 the total expenditure of GSE for support and purchase of electricity was 15,9 billion euros. The largest contribution is
related to PV plants, with a cost of 6,7 € bn, mainly related to the Energy Account (6,0 € bn)
Part of the cost is restored by the revenues arising from the electricity sale (1,5 € bn), thus determining a burden on electricity bills
of 14,4 bn €
GSE implemented a methodology for the calculation of economic and employment impacts of renewable energy deployment (according to Legislative Decree n.28 of 3rd March 2011)
The contribution of RES to the Italian economy is calculated within the framework of a standard demand driven IO model, suitably integrated and matched with the statistical and technical-economic data collected and analyzed by GSE

PV maintenance interventions breakdown
In February 2017, GSE published the procedures for maintenance and upgrading of PV plants supported by Energy Account in order to: Preserve and optimize PV generation performance to achieve renewable targets Simplify administrative practices for operators dealing with the Energy Account constraints Disseminate good practices
In 2016, 90% of PV maintenance interventions concern PV component replacement (inverter, module, electrical equipment)

PV role in 2030 energy scenario
Evolution of PV capacity (GW) and future trends
Italy is defining 2030 renewable energy targets in the National Energy Strategy (NES)
The current NES version defines an increase of RES share up to 48%-50% in electricity sector consumptions
PV capacity is expected almost to triple by 2030. That would also require large PV plants, and new business models

The new era of large PV plants will require new business model (PPA, auctions etc.)
The income will have to rely on the sale of PV energy. What is the current value of PV energy in the market?
GSE carried out an analysis of PV energy market price in 2016, which depends on the profiles of PV production and energy price

Address authorization length (30 years?)
In the short-term, public auctions may be implemented, with a “two-way” approach to stabilize investor income
After 2020, long term PPAs should be set, defining new standards
