Italy’s solar sector is an attractive investment space, and much of this is owed to the supportive auction systems managed by the government.

EU member states awarded a record 25.2GW of new solar PV capacity through auctions in 2025, according to SolarPower Europe.

Italy has awarded 88 projects for a combined 1.1GW of solar PV in its Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) non-price criteria FER-X auction.

Italy's NZIA FER-X auction aims to diversify Europe's supply chain, but this brings its own challenges, writes Patrizio Donati.

The Italian government has granted awards to 474 solar PV projects, with a combined capacity of 7.698GW, under the FER X programme.

Italy has released the results of its latest solar auction, which includes 273 expressions of interest for a combined capacity of 3,161MW.

Italy’s latest renewable energy tender has received 12GW of bids, of which the majority, 10GW, came from solar PV.

The absence of negative pricing in Italy undermines the case for co-located solar storage, the co-founder of Italian IPP Terrawatt has said.
