PN RIC 2021-2027 - PRODUZIONE DI ENERGIA DA FONTI RINNOVABILI: OPPORTUNITÀ IMPRESE DEL SUD ITALIA
Summary
The PN RIC 2021-2027 initiative allocates 262 million euros to support companies in Southern Italy for the installation of photovoltaic and thermal systems aimed at self-consumption. GSE provides services to assist companies in navigating the energy transition, enhancing competitiveness and sustainability.
GSE management mechanisms focus on five areas: energy efficiency, renewable sources, circular economy, innovation, and energy management. These mechanisms include white certificates for energy savings and long-term Power Purchase Agreements for renewable energy implementation.
The GSE facilitates photovoltaic installations in less developed regions of Italy, with specific criteria including a minimum capacity of 5,000 units. The PNRIC 2.2.1 initiative allocates a total budget of 262,000 euros, with 60% designated for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Companies of all sizes, including networks, can participate in the program if they meet specific eligibility criteria. These criteria include being regularly constituted, not under liquidation, and not affected by the Deocalization term in the preceding two years.

- The GSE provides various services to assist companies in navigating the energy transition, which presents both challenges and opportunities for enhancing competitiveness and sustainability in the long term. GSE offers personalized assistance and a range of mechanisms and incentives to promote energy efficiency and the development of renewable sources, tailored to the specific needs of different industrial sectors
05:00–10:00
The GSE management mechanisms focus on five areas: energy efficiency, renewable sources, circular economy, innovation, and energy management. These mechanisms include white certificates for energy savings and long-term Power Purchase Agreements for renewable energy implementation.
- The GSE management mechanisms are categorized into five main areas: energy efficiency, renewable sources, circular economy, innovation, and energy management, providing tailored support for companies
- In energy efficiency, mechanisms include white certificates certifying energy savings and the updated thermal account 3.0 with new rules for applications
- Renewable sources are supported through mechanisms like XFR2 for implementing renewable energy and KCR for certifying renewable energy production
- Incentives for the circular economy focus on producing biomaterials and biofuels, while innovation is driven by digitization and transition mechanisms
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts essential for companies implementing renewable energy plants, influenced by market prices

A product unit can be defined based on the share, allowing for multiple requests from different properties. The geographical distribution of product units is flexible, ensuring compliance with regulations.
- A product unit can be defined based on the share, allowing for multiple requests from different properties. However, if submitted from the same property, it will be blocked by the system
- Each product unit must be associated with a single request for emission, meaning the plant must be clearly defined and not spread across multiple locations. If a product unit has existing buildings, it can distribute the plant across several sections as long as everything connects to a single box
- The geographical distribution of product units is flexible, allowing for locations in northern regions or in Rome, as long as necessary criteria are met
- Common units with populations over 15,000 inhabitants can transmit requests, ensuring that product units are accessible and compliant with regulations
