The entire renewable energy sector awaits the approval from Brussels of the CER (Renewable Energy Communities) decree for the development of self-consumption systems.
Through non-repayable loans and premium tariffs for plants with power not exceeding 1 MW, the decree provides for support for CERs and single and collective self-consumption configurations until 31 December 2024, or until the date on which a financed equal to 300 MW.
The ferment shows no signs of abating and the various sectors are clamoring for a quick and impactful decision, which is able to give greater support to renewables and allow CERs to grow as an essential element for achieving the objectives of reducing emissions CO2 by 2023.
The potential of self-consumption systems at a residential level is high, as emerges from the latest ENEA study, according to which it is possible to exploit 30% of the roof surface to install photovoltaic panels and obtain the energy necessary for residential needs. The document describes the real potential of photovoltaics in Italy in 2030 and 2050 taking into account only the use of the roof surfaces of existing residential buildings, without the need to build new buildings and consume new land.
At what point is Sardinia
In Sardinia at the end of March 2023, 1,167 MW were installed for a total of almost 51,000 plants, thus placing themselves in ninth place in the regional ranking in terms of power and tenth in terms of number of plants. On a cumulative level, 220 MW of plants with power below 12 kWp are installed in the region, this means that they are residential plants, the consistency of which is certainly also due to the superbonus effect, 155 MW have been installed in the power range between 12 and 200 kWp, to be mainly ascribed to the industrial sector, 170 MW with power plants between 200kWp and 1 MWp again for the commercial and industrial sector, and 621 MW of plants over one MW of power, therefore to be considered utility-scale plants. In the first quarter of this year, Sardinia installed 34 new MW for a total of about 3,300 plants, of which 19 MW are residential installations, while 12 MW are plants with power between 1 and 10 MWp, the remaining 3 MW are to be ascribed to the industrial sector.
