The Environmental Decree polarises the market: Accelerates large investments and penalises medium-sized plants

Feliciano Palladino, Head of Energy & Environment at NexAmm, points out that the new Environmental Decree will benefit those planning to invest in larger facilities, while those focusing on medium-sized plants will be penalised. He also notes that this will lead to a “definitive saturation of connection points,” which poses significant risks to grid resilience, considering that there are more than 300 GW with connection requests, according to data from Terna.
