NERA Director Dr. Francesco Lo Passo participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by the Institute for Competition in Rome on 2 April 2007. The discussion focused on incentives and energy policy measures required to increase energy savings and the use of renewable energy sources in Italy in order to meet the targets set by the EU and Kyoto Protocol. The participants also discussed a Draft Law recently submitted by the Italian Government to the High Chamber that proposed measures for increasing use of renewable sources. Dr. Lo Passo and Edo Ronchi -- a Minister of Parliament who submitted an amendment to the Draft Law providing for a change to the current green certificates scheme -- focused their remarks on what mechanisms could be used to update the minimum and maximum price of green certificates in order to grant investors the recovery of their costs.
Other speakers in the roundtable included Professor Carlo Andrea Bollino, President of GSE, the institutional body that promotes, incentivizes, and develops renewable energy sources in Italy; Andrea Falzone, Ministry of Environment; Enzo Gatta, President of Assoelettrica, the industry association of generators; Simone Mori, Director of the Regulatory Department of Enel; Gaetano Colucci, Institutional Relations, Eni Gas&Power; Paolo Ghisland of AIGET, the association of electricity traders; Professor Pierluigi Parcu; Studio Economico Parcu & Associati; and Tommaso Salonico of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
