(Finance) – In recent months there has been a “on authorizations for renewable energy”important acceleration “. This was underlined by the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani at Question time. “In particular, since the beginning of 2022, the Via-Vas commission has processed projects for 1060 Mgw of renewable energy. Since its inauguration in May 2020, 688 applications have been submitted for various reasons to its examination and 170 have been concluded, in period 2013-109 were received 244 instances and 155 have been concluded. So on the conventional way there was one important acceleration “, explained the minister.
“The Via commission has concluded in the last two years a number of evaluations higher than that previously carried out in 6 years. With reference to the Via commission for the Pnrr-Pniec, the new one, in March 2022 480 projects were received for a total of 9 GW overall and despite having started the business on 18 January, it has processed projects for 2.5 Gw. The work done in 4 months is equal to three times the work done in the previous year “. “Be careful to avoid simplifying readings that imply that all the projects presented are equally authorized. The truth is that one part is not authorized because it is not of the necessary quality and another part, large, is not authorized, because being sun and wind concentrated in some areas, many projects compete for the same patch of land and sea and therefore one passes and others do not. Nevertheless, they must all be evaluated “Cingolani said of the environmental impact assessments.
The renewable capacity deployment plan requires an adequate smart grid and an equally adequate storage system. “This huge increase in renewable power – he said – if not accompanied by one smart grid of adequate size and an adequately sized storage system, risks being useless. It is not enough. The road is uphill and tiring but we will do everything to go faster “.
“To date, despite the advanced requests in the observatory Ilva from the meeting of 9 March 2021, the commissioners of Ilva spa in extraordinary administration have not yet sent a list of environmental restorative interventions still to be carried out, excluding the interventions pursuant to DPCM of 29 September 2017, relating to the Hague prescriptions, and it is not currently It is possible to determine what is the real economic requirement necessary for rimplementation of interventions for the safety and remediation of the former Ilva production site and the neighboring territories “, he said in response to a question on the progress of the reclamation of the former Ilva.
“Before coming to confer, I spoke with some of the representatives who told me that they now have precise economic estimates that I have already presented in a previous hearing in some commission. I do not have them, they will send them to me, we will see it and talk about it again shortly “, concluded the Minister.
