(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 12 – “To provide a structural solution to the serious energy emergency, I asked the Government and the Regions to issue authorizations by June for 60 GW of plants that the electricity sector is ready to install in the next 3 years and that they would allow Italy to cut 20% of gas imports from abroad “with savings, at current prices, of 27 billion a year. So to ANSA Agostino Re Rebaudengo, president of Elettricità futura, an association of Confindustria that brings together electricity companies. “An objective-he explains-absolutely concrete and feasible, a” dream “that we are however capable of achieving”.
In 2021, renewable plants installed in Italy amounted to 57 GW divided between: 22 GW of photovoltaics, 19 GW of hydroelectric, 11 GW of wind, 5 GW of other renewable energies while, explains Re Rebaudengo to ANSA “ten years ago, we had installed in Italy over 11 GW having less performing technologies and less efficient installation systems “. “We are at a standstill. The energy transition in our country is very late, as shown by the average of new installations in recent years”, explains Re Rebaudengo, underlining that “due to the excess of bureaucracy” it is possible to install only one Gw of power per year. “With 60 GW of new renewable plants, about 90 TWh of electricity are produced”, explains the president of Elettricità futura. “At current prices, producing 90 TWh of electricity with thermoelectric plants (370 € / MWh, PUN value 11 March 2022) (450 € / MWh, PUN value 7 March 2022) costs 33 billion; 90 TWh of renewable electricity sold under the contracts in the long term, on the other hand, it costs 6 billion (assuming a price of 65 € / MWh, as for the latest GSE auctions) “(ANSA).
