The renewable energy sector in Italy is facing a phase of significant change, with key deadlines approaching and new regulations being introduced that will redefine incentives and opportunities for citizens and businesses. . Between changes to photovoltaic bonuses, new rules for ecobonuses and the growing role of renewable energy communities, 2025 promises to be a key year for the energy transition. We talk about it with him. Daniel IdeconThere are renewable energy experts, who help us understand the changes taking place and the future possibilities.
As 2025 approaches, the regulatory landscape in Italy is changing. How is the energy redevelopment sector preparing?
New European regulations, combined with state incentives, are giving a strong boost to the energy efficiency of buildings. For citizens and businesses, this is an important opportunity to reduce energy consumption and improve the comfort of life. However, the ever-changing regulatory context makes it imperative that the benefits available and how to access them are constantly updated. With only one Clear understanding With these tools it will be possible to take the best advantage of the opportunities presented by 2025.
Photovoltaics is a rapidly expanding field. What are the numbers and prospects for 2025?
“Exactly yes. Today there are approximately 1,763,977 photovoltaic systems in Italy, with a total capacity of 33.62 GW, 9 percent of national energy needs. With a 40% increase in 2023 compared to last year, this sector is continuously growing. However, from 1 January 2025, there will be changes to the photovoltaic bonus: the tax deduction will go from 50% to 36% and the expenditure limit will be halved, from 96,000 to 48,000 euros per real estate unit. Despite this drawback, photovoltaics is a profitable choice for Italian families, thanks to the savings in energy costs and the continuous improvement of available technologies”.
What will change in energy efficiency incentives from 2025?
“From 2025, there will be some significant changes in incentivesEcobonusIn the period 2026-2027, the tax deduction for the first house will be reduced to 50% and thereafter to 36%. For second homes, we will start at 36% in 2025, which will be further reduced to 30% from 2026. The super bonus will also be reduced, going from 70% to 65%, with a 110% protected rate. Specifically for interventions in municipalities affected by earthquake events. These changes represent a reduction compared to the past, but the incentives to promote energy efficiency interventions are still fundamental.”
Renewable energy communities are gaining popularity. What benefits do they offer?
“Renewable energy communities (Cer) represent a turning point in energy management, allowing groups of citizens or companies to share energy generated from renewable sources. In addition to environmental benefits, they Photovoltaic systems offer significant economic benefits to the owner. Charges 11 cents per kilowatt.Those without a system get 12 cents for every kilowatt they use. Furthermore, in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, it is possible to obtain a non-reimbursable contribution of up to 40% of the costs incurred for the construction of new plants. These systems are a concrete response to the need to make the energy transition more accessible and inclusive.”
What measures are planned to support low-income families?
“The Energy Income Fund is an important initiative to support families with an ISEE of less than 15,000 euros. The fund offers donations. A non-refundable fund of up to 11,000 euros For the installation of photovoltaic systems, with a maximum power of 6 kW. Contributions are proportional to the strength of the system and aim to ensure that even the most vulnerable families have access to renewable energy, while reducing energy costs.”
From 2025, gas boilers will lose the concession. What solutions will be encouraged?
“From 2025, there will be no more concessions. Independent gas boilera choice that reflects the need to phase out fossil fuels. Instead, hybrid systems, which combine gas boilers with heat pumps and solar thermal, will be promoted, provided that at least part of the energy comes from renewable sources. Additionally, the European Green Homes Directive aims to reduce energy consumption by 16% by 2030, with even more ambitious targets set for 2035. These changes are key to pushing for wider adoption of sustainable solutions in the construction sector.”
How do you see the future of energy transition in Italy?
“Italy has a unique opportunity to be a A leader in energy transition. However, a strategic vision of tax policies and available instruments is essential to maximize the impact of investments. Only with a clear and planned approach will it be possible to achieve the ambitious decarbonisation targets for 2030, while creating a more sustainable future for all.
2025 is therefore set as a year of great challenges, but also extraordinary opportunities for citizens, businesses and institutions to build a greener Italy.
