The Italian clawback measures against renewables pose serious threats to the energy transition in Italy and Europe

Article 16 of the Italian Law Decree 04/2022 (“DL Sostegni ter”) introduces discriminatory measures between producers of electricity based on generation technology, creates market distortions undermining investor confidence and risks slowing down the energy transition process. Leading Associations representing the electricity sector in Italy and Europe, including WindEurope, are calling on the Italian Government to withdraw Art.16 and to initiate a constructive dialogue to define effective and balanced solutions to tackle high energy prices.
