The European Commission has approved a €23 billion Italian State aid scheme to support electricity production from renewable energy sources, in line with the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal. This measure will contribute to the transition towards a net-zero economy and reaching the renewable energy target set at EU level for 2030. The scheme was approved under the Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF) adopted by the Commission on 25 June 2025.

Italy notified to the Commission, under the CISAF, a €23 billion scheme to support electricity production from renewable energy sources.

The scheme will support the construction of installations that generate electricity using onshore wind, solar power, hydropower, and sewage gas. The plants are expected to add a total of 37.15 GW of renewable electricity capacity, which represents around 48% of current RES capacity in Italy. This scheme will significantly contribute to Italy’s decarbonisation objective of reaching 39.4% of gross final energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2030. It will reduce electricity prices and reduce the Union’s dependency on energy imports, in line with the objectives set out in the Clean Industrial Deal and in the REPowerEU plan.
