Renewable energies are those coming from clean and sustainable energy sources, alternatives to traditional fossil sources (coal, gas and oil) and, as such, at the centre of the energy transition. In Italy, renewable sources are concentrated in the South, whereas most energy demand comes from the North. This makes better integration of the grid and the strengthening of the South-North backbone much-needed changes to solve congestion problems in electricity transmission.
In order to absorb growing proportions of production from non-programmable renewable sources, a constant and rapid expansion of the transmission grid is fundamental. In fact, as noted at the global level, the acceleration of investments is an enabling factor for energy transition. The figures are clear: every euro spent on renewables reflects a euro invested in the development of electricity grids. The expected result is a reduction of costs and an improvement in the performance of renewable production sources and storage systems.
