The cabinet it will be in the afternoon. But the agreement on photovoltaics which had seen a clash of views between the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto Fratin and the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida it seems to have been found now. And it should end like this: green light for advanced photovoltaics with systems installed at such a height as to preserve agricultural activity and for “agrisolare” (with systems installed on the roofs of the buildings of agricultural and agro-industrial companies). Instead, stop new ground-mounted photovoltaic systems that involve the use of land, which remains available to farmers. Without prejudice to the works already started. Pichetto’s pressure remains so that the concept of “unsuitable areas” is not mentioned in the legislative decree.
The letter to Meloni
Anie and Elettricità Futura appeal to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and to ministers Lollobrigida, Pichetto, Adolfo Urso and Raffaele Fitto «so that the final version of the Agriculture decree does not effectively prohibit the development of photovoltaic systems in areas classified as agricultural».
Roof panels
«We do not absolutely prohibit investments in photovoltaic, but we aim for criteria of compatibility with agricultural production», explained Lollobrigida at the Sun 24 Hours, highlighting the Pnrr loans already disbursed to 13,500 companies which will become over 26 thousand, with 1.3 gigawatts of power “quadruple compared to forecasts”. And he denied any disagreements with Pichetto: «No conflict. We favor panels on the roofs of stables, greenhouses and agricultural outbuildings or at a height that does not impede production.”
Urban regeneration
At today’s Council of Ministers, which could give the go-ahead to economic support for agricultural companies, grant a moratorium on mortgages and deal with the emergency generated by the spread of the blue crab, complete with an ad hoc commissioner, however, a provision will also be discussed which has heated up controversies. The one on urban regeneration which could contain the “save home”. In the discussion between the Northern League deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini, inclined to launch an ad hoc decree for amnesties, and the Forzista Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, in favor of using the Gasparri bill on urban regeneration for this purpose, already under discussion in the Senate, FdI also enters the field , in favor of a broad “delegation to the government for the simplification of legislative provisions on urban planning”.
The 8 proposals
The legislative proposals for regeneration under consideration by Parliament thus rise dramatically to eight. The Environment Commission will make an initial point on Wednesday, the day on which it has scheduled the discussion of the six key bills that could be merged. But Salvini carries on. He has already reiterated his intention to bring the “home saving” measure to the CDM by decree by May.
