Italy: sudden end to ground-mounted PV?

摘要

The Italian government has issued a decree restricting funding for PV systems on agricultural land to a small number of already approved projects. However, the revision must still be made law by the parliament within 60 days. With the lobby already up in arms over the decree, observers are expecting to see some amendments if not a rejection. The government bill points to the so-called Romani Decree of March 2011, which states that systems on agricultural land are not eligible for incentives if their rated capacity is greater than 1 MW or if the site is not located at least 2 km from the nearest ground-mounted system of the same operator.
