ITALY IN THE EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AGRIVOLTAIC LANDSCAPE

Rimini Fiera, 5 marzo h 13:30 – 16:00

Sala Neri 2, Hall Sud

Despite the numerous difficulties faced by operators, Italy is considered a beacon country for the implementation of agrivoltaics. This is mainly due to the Next Generation EU funding measure, which has given impetus to the development of an agrivoltaic market in our country. What is happening in other European countries and around the world? What “form” does agrivoltaics take in other contexts?

This meeting aims to provide a comprehensive and global picture of the agrivoltaic framework covering aspects such as: the regulatory framework, the market, social acceptability, its implementation and research.
Voices from institutions, associations, research and industry will share concrete experiences, with the aim of showing the many forms that agrivoltaics can take, the problems and opportunities it offers.

The first session offers a window on the state of agrivoltaics at an international and European level; the second session presents Italian experiences; the round table closes with reflections from various actors called upon to respond to present needs and provide direction for the future vision.
