shared solar power

Energy communities, recognized and supported in Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, could soon increase their role in the country’s energy transition, Italian research agency ENEA told pv magazine.

Energy communities in Italy will be awarded a special tariff for all shared power in renewable energy systems not exceeding 200 kW in size. Surplus power can be injected into the grid, but with no remuneration, which may encourage the members of these communities to resort to storage.

The government has published new rules for distributed generation which will come into force on November 6.

Almost one-third of Australians are locked behind the solar barrier, as they don’t have the luxury of installing their own solar PV.
