Agri-photovoltaic Decree

The PNRR includes a specific measure (M2C2.1) for the development of agrivoltaics. The investment measure specifically includes: i) the implementation of hybrid agriculture-energy production systems that do not compromise the use of land dedicated to agriculture, but contribute to the environmental and economic sustainability of the companies involved, also potentially enhancing water basins through floating solutions; ii) monitoring of the implementation and their effectiveness, with the collection of data on both photovoltaic systems and on underlying agricultural production and activity, in order to evaluate the microclimate, water savings, recovery of soil fertility, resilience to climate change and agricultural productivity for the different types of crops. The objective of the investment is to install a production capacity from agrivoltaic systems of 1.04 GW, which would produce approximately 1,300 GWh per year, with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions estimated at approximately 0.8 million tonnes of CO2.
