Solar Exhibition and Conference 2022

SEC 2022 comes in a national and international context in which important new political and economic factors have unfolded:

• the Next Generation EU, which has sanctioned an extraordinary turnaround in the European strategy by declaring the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050 is of particular importance and over 1 trillion EUR have been allocated to guide this transition;
• Italy is the country that has received the most funding through the NRP, with 40% of its funds dedicated to the ecological transition and 20% to the conversion of renewable energy, mobility and green infrastructure. Never before has so much funding been earmarked for an economic and social industrial redevelopment of Europe and Italy;
• the European Green Deal will regulate the bulk of future European actions, with specific policies and massive investments (an estimated one trillion EUR between public and private over the next 10 years);
• the Inecp will be rewritten to bring it in line with the new EU 2030 targets; green electricity production will be increased from the current 55% (60-65%);
• streamlining of bureaucracy and limitations to the development of big plants: the INECP and NRP that support the adoption of renewable energy sources have drafted new legislative practices to speed up the authorisations necessary for the construction of solar plants.

Solar energy is becoming increasingly popular in Italy, but more generally the production of energy from renewable sources is based on the ability to integrate - as much in solar as in wind - the energy efficiency of plants, the digitisation of networks and source storage systems - which will be critical to the success of all technologies related to the energy transition.

Reasons for attending the event: the added value of being part of the Solare Exhibition and Conference community

This is an innovative format, strongly focused on the needs of companies and solar communities, conceived to offer practical answers to an economic sector responsible for leading the energy transition process in our country, engaging in dialogue with the most significant international experiences.
