|

Emma Potter

After the operational rules, the first notice for the submission of requests is expected

The GSE will issue a first public notice for the submission of applications within thirty days of approval of the operating rules.

Access to incentives occurs through participation in public procedures, divided into registers and auctions, banned by the GSE during 2024in which power contingents are periodically made available, possibly increased by the quotas of resources and contingents not assigned in previous procedures, within the limits of financial resources.

The aspects governed by the operating rules

The agrivoltaic systems of experimental nature predict innovative integrated solutions with assembly of modules elevated from the groundalso providing for the rotation of the modules themselves, in any case so as not to compromise the continuity of agricultural and pastoral cultivation activities, also possibly allowing the application of digital and precision agriculture tools.

The intent is to create the conditions such that do not compromise continuity of agricultural and pastoral activity, guaranteeing, at the same time, efficient energy production.

The operating rules govern the following aspects:

  • The public notice schemes for each of the procedures provided in accordance with “Technical instructions for the selection of PNRR projects” transmitted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance with circular of 14 October 2021, n. 21 and at the beginning of “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH);
  • the templates for participation requests to the procedures for accessing incentives in such a way that the applicant is adequately informed of the obligations and methods of compilation as well as of the criminal and administrative consequences deriving from false declarations made pursuant to the articles 46 and 47 of the decree of the President of the Republic of 28 December 2000, n. 445;
