The strategic role of renewable PPAs in the Italian market

The transition towards a electricity generation mix characterized by an increasing production from renewable sources remains central in both European and national energy policies, with the decarbonization of the electricity sector recognized as the main option for diversification and efficiency of energy supplies.

The expansion of the renewable energy market in Italy is in a consolidation phase, seeking a balance between market parity conditions for new investments, the evolution of regulatory frameworks, and market volatility.

In this context, Renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), long-term contracts that regulate the supply of renewable electricity, find space as a market tool to support investments and offer consumers an opportunity to stabilize costs with sustainable procurement.

The growth prospects for renewables in Italy




In 2023, the VIA-VAS and PNRR-PNIEC commisions examined 221 procedures for a total of 10.5 GW of new renewable capacity.


In 2023, nearly 6 GW of new renewable projects were authorized in Italy, and 5.7 GW of new capacity was installed, with 5.2 GW being solar and 487 MW being wind


Up to an additional 6 GW of solar and wind capacity are expected by 2025 (MBS est.), with the FitFOR55 scenario projecting an increase to over 100 GW by 2030


The grid connection requests amount to approximately 328 GW (Terna data), which is more than 3 times the new renewable capacity needed (achieve PNIEC 2030)


In Europe, to date, have been signed PPAs for 58.9 GW, with 38 GW being corporate PPAs. Italy represents 3.2% of the European market, with 1.9 GW of PPAs.


Under European Directive 2464/22 (CSRD), approximately 4,000 companies (IT) and 50,000 (UE) will be required to include a financial Sustainability Statement
