Government of Italy (2nd SE4All Forum Commitments)

#SDGAction40240

Description

Italy recognizes the catalytic role of energy in promoting sustainable development and is strongly committed in the three SE4ALL objectives, playing an active role in their achievement both at governmental and private sector level.

In particular, the main Italian energy utility - Enel - joined the SE4ALL Advisory Board in June 2014.

Implementation of the Project/Activity

At national level, Italy supports the deployment of renewable energy which today represents 38.6 % of the total national energy production, with an installed capacity of 50GW, mostly related to small and medium size power plants. Furthermore, Italy has set legal provisions to foster the development of energy efficiency measures, such as white certificates, tax rebates and support scheme for Heating&Cooling.
At international level, Italy is actively engaged in order to reach the SE4ALL goals through cooperation with IRENA (Remap2030 and Africa Clean Energy Corridor projects) and IPEEC and mutual sharing of best practices.
Regarding energy access, Italy has been also financing energy-related projects in Africa, Middle East and Latin America (for more than 80 million€), where energy access is key for a sustainable economic and human development.
