The definition of the European target of increase in 2030 Renewables is, in the current debate on energy, one of the hottest topics. The ANEV expressed from the beginning its position, considering it appropriate to an increase of 27% identified by the European Commission, at least 45%, and the hope of finding a constraint for the individual Member States. The knowledge that there is an ongoing change in the global energy system, more and more voted in green solutions and increasingly low carbon, combined with the need to put a remedy to climate change, pushes to think of a future where renewable will be part and unavoidable.
That said, the achievement of an ambitious agreement between the EU Member States which it is hoped will be achieved on October 1, it would be an important signal because it would provide certainty and stability to domestic and international investors, stimulate employment and make it safer our energy supplies, fragile and subject to possible questioned, as the recent crisis in Ukraine has shown. In this way, the wind in Italy has already proved to have something extra and they have reached maturity, both from the technological point of view and know-how, so as to become Italy now for some years a net exporter of components, both from an economic point of view, being one of the renewable sources to have reached grid parity and to point to the market parity.
In this context, it must be said that the wind, often charged with other renewable ease the burden on the bill of Italian for financing incentives, would be able today to stand still, if you replace the incentive mechanism as currently conceived with more modern systems tax relief and capital grants. A separate chapter then it should have specific policies for plans to modernize the existing production park that today is even made it less attractive to build new plants. This could usefully be done perfectly combining fight against CO2 and economic and employment growth. It's important that other renewable sources to reach that level in order to contribute together to make a change to energy production models existing today and, with the help of the field of 'energy efficiency and transport, to incisively reduce climate-changing emissions.
To this end, the ANEV along with other important companies in the world of Renewable, gave birth to a single subject, the Coordination FREE (Renewable Resources and Energy Efficiency), against unitary representation of the entire sector, who shared the need to push the European institutions to make more courageous decisions. The hope is that such a unified path of associative representation could soon find common home and adequate recognition in the field of industrial representation. Returning to the objectives in 2030, one must consider that only by assuming a share of 30% more Renewable you could reduce the amount of hydrocarbons by nearly 3 times compared to only 27% proposed by the European Commission, and so it would create 568,000 jobs more and it would save 260 billion of imports of fossil fuels at European level.
The benefits would be tangible even at national level. In Italy only the wind creates an annual cash flow of around EUR 3.5 billion in direct and indirect investments and has over 34,000 employees and a proper growth, it could reach over 67,000 employees in 2020. To do so, it is necessary to facilitate the development of a promising sector, such as renewable and wind energy, eliminating bureaucratic barriers, easing the burdens placed on businesses today and simplifying legislation, particularly for the commitments that hopefully will be taken by October 2014 . it is indeed hoped that the President of Renzi Council in June on duty to the European semester, is active as stated, to speed up the process and to achieve a successful goal, in line with its renaissance design of the country and the will that Italy has an active role in defining the rules and objectives.
