Enel: bene la clausola made in Eu sul 5.0. Elettricità futura: know how da difendere

Italian energy company Enel supports the current policy of the "Transizione 5.0" plan, according to the latest data published by the newspaper Sole 24 Ore. The distribution of projects reveals that only 2% of the 4.75 billion euros allocated are for renewable energy plants and software. Enel, which controls 3Sun, emphasizes that this data reflects an initial phase of just two months and is not compared to any historical benchmarks or causally linked to the stricter European requirements for photovoltaic modules.

The choice to prioritize European panels, and the promotion of "made in EU," does not exclude other incentives, such as post-Transizione 5.0 measures. 3Sun is one of the few remaining large producers of photovoltaic technology in Europe and this investment is industrial and technological, created within Italy. It contributes to preserving expertise, innovation, employment, and production capacity in a market dominated by almost entirely Asian imports.

There is no question of companies purchasing panels produced outside of Europe if they are deemed more cost-effective. However, arguing that public resources should incentivize the import of foreign technologies that do not benefit the country or Europe is questioned. Criticizing the policy solely based on purchase price means giving up any European industrial policy.
