C for Cold ironing
Of all the sectors called upon to contribute to the decarbonisation process, maritime transport certainly has a major role to play: the electrification of ports is one of the keys to the energy transition, while green ships will help reduce both harmful emissions and noise pollution, with benefits for the environment and communities. The NRRP has allocated 700 million euros in investments for the development of electricity infrastructure, with the involvement of distribution companies and Terna.

Half a year, wholly sustainable
Between January and June of this year, for the first time in history, clean sources produced more electricity than fossil fuels. Though currently a record, this must become the norm if we are to achieve the decarbonisation targets of the energy transition. Storage systems have a leading role to play in the current landscape of immense transformation, and Italy is the sixth most attractive country in the world for investments in this rapidly expanding sector.
