The Italian Council of Ministers has authorized the construction of eight renewable energy projects with a total capacity of 314 MW, with a view to further simplifying the development of large-scale facilities and reducing reliance on natural gas imports in the coming years.

These approved projects do not require additional environmental impact assessments. These include five wind projects ranging in size from 31.3 MW to 73.2 MW in Apulia and southern Basilicata; a 60 MW agro-PV project in Apulia, and two Geothermal projects with a capacity of 5 MW each in Tuscany.
