Legislative Aspects

• 2008 First Degree for Solar Thermal Power (STP): 2 Mmsq, storage obligation, Terrain Protection

• 2010 Italian Action Plan for Renewable Energy Sources: 600 MWe of STP by 2020

• 2012 New Decree/New Tariff:Incentives to be added selling price for plants 2500ms.q of aperture

: aperture below 10000s.q; no storage obligations, Biomass supported

Economic

• Italy expect to need to ‘Import’ renewable electricity before 2020

• Southern Mediterranean imports-Merchant line (Italy-Switzerland): 4 TWh/year from 2015,

-Merchant line(Italy-Albania): 3 TWh/year from year 2016

-Interconnection (Italy-Tunisia):0.6 TWh/year from 2018

-Interconnection (Italy-Montenegro: 6 TWh/year from 2016, signed in 2009
