Italy could struggle to meet 2030 green goals, study shows

A study by Edison and TEHA Group indicates that Italy may struggle to meet its 2030 carbon emission reduction targets due to delays in renewable energy and storage infrastructure. The report suggests that Italy could take an additional 10 years to deploy necessary technologies, potentially hindering EU decarbonization goals. It recommends streamlining permitting and reducing energy costs. The study also highlights the potential for hydropower storage and advanced nuclear technologies to boost Italy's economy by €190 billion by 2050, while noting that solar project costs are currently 20% higher than in neighboring countries.
