Description
By Directorial Decree 223/2024, the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security published a public notice for the submission of project proposals on portions of the medium- and low-voltage grid to promote the electrification of energy consumption of at least 2,300,000 inhabitants, to be financed under investment 1 of mission 7 of the NRP. Only distribution system operators operating under a public concession in the national territory can apply for funding, with certain conditions. Vertically integrated companies can only participate if they have the means to ensure the separation of production and distribution activities through separate accounting.
Project proposals must concern the realisation of interventions aimed at increasing the maximum power that the grid is able to supply in withdrawal to connected users under normal operating conditions (electrification of consumption). The applications submitted must have a cost equal to or greater than EUR 5,000,000.00 (five million) and must concern projects to be completed no later than 30 June 2026.
Applications for funding, complete with all attachments , must be submitted to the pec address rafforzamentosmartgrid@pec.mase.gov.it. The selection of operations is assessed through the counter, which will be open from 10.00 a.m. on the thirtieth day from the publication of the extract of the Notice in the GURI and will remain open until 10.00 a.m. on 31 January 2025.
