More than €200 million in available funding remains unallocated under the €262 million support program for photovoltaic projects aimed at boosting self-consumption among businesses in southern Italy.
Italy’s Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has approved the list of applications admitted to the evaluation phase of a national incentive scheme supporting photovoltaic self-consumption projects developed by companies in the country’s southern regions.
According to the ministry’s latest decree, 566 applications were submitted successfully, with a total requested incentive value of approximately €59 million ($67.4 million). The figure is significantly below the program’s overall financial allocation of €262 million, leaving more than €200 million still available.
The scheme was initially launched in October 2025 under Ministerial Decree 424/2025. The original application deadline, set for March 3, was later extended until July 3 to encourage wider participation from eligible companies and support the full use of the allocated resources.
A preliminary review of the submitted applications shows that the largest requested contribution was associated with MI.LO. Srl, a company based in Puglia, which submitted a project with a total investment value of more than €30 million. Meanwhile, the highest evaluation score was awarded to SGM Impianti Srl, based in Sicily, which achieved top rankings across almost all assessment criteria.
