The programme aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy system in Italy, to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible and positioning Italy as a successful model in Europe and the world. Early work will focus on proposals that aim to transform the electricity system to create a secure and flexible system based on renewables, storage, energy efficiency, smart grid expansion and unlocking consumer demand. This work will also initiate a conversation on gas phase-out in Italy, similar to the conversation on coal phase-out which began 20 years ago.
Policies for a decarbonised Italian electricity system in 2035
June 2023
The project aims to show the production technology, enabling technology and enabling policies required to comply with Italian energy regulations that an essentially decarbonised electricity system in 2035 will need to have in place in 2030 and 2035. The system will be the most economical of all those guaranteeing decarbonisation and security while complying with certain hypotheses.
