Italy has awarded 278.5MW of solar PV capacity across 53 projects and two wind projects with a total capacity of 88.4MW. Developers offered a maximum discount between 2.01-7.91% from the auction ceiling price of €0.078175/ kWh. The lowest bid was at €0.07199/kWh. Italy also allocated around 87.5MW for hydropower plants.
From pv magazine Italy The first solar energy auction under Italy's new incentive scheme for renewable energy, the “transitional” FER X program, has attracted 1,387 project proposals with a combined capacity of 17,537 MW, according to Italian energy agency GSE. Prequalified project developers have until Sept. 12 to submit final offers.
Italian authorities expect to allocate more than 600 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity through the auction. “The data confirm excellent participation in photovoltaics and a trend consistent with expectations for wind power,” said Italian Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin.
Successful projects are expected to begin commercial operations by June 2026. The ceiling tariff for solar systems of 300 kW in size and below was €0.093 ($0.098)/kWh; for systems of over 300 kW, the tariff was capped at €0.085 ($0.089)/kWh.
This tender came in the wake of Italy’s decision to ban ground-mounted solar PV installations on agricultural land earlier this year. The policy drew criticism from Italia Solare, the national solar trade association, which argued it could lead to €60 billion ($63 billion) in lost private investments and tax revenues.
