# Energy sustainability in Italy: Transition 5.0 and Individual Remote Self-Consumption

> The article describes two opportunities for industrial decarbonization: the Transition 5.0 plan and Individual Remote Self-Consumption (AID), including incentives, certification requirements and Whitenergy's stated support services.

- **Summary:** The page outlines Transition 5.0 incentives for efficiency, renewable self-production and training, and AID incentives for photovoltaic plants virtually connected to industrial sites.

## Transition 5.0 plan

The article presents Transition 5.0, also called Industry 5.0, as part of Italy's PNRR changes linked to RePowerEU. It describes tax credits for energy-efficiency projects and renewable-energy self-production, with a stated objective of saving 400,000 tonnes of oil equivalent over two years.

A total allocation of €6.3 billion is described alongside Transition 4.0 incentives.

### Investment categories

1. **Energy efficiency:** €3.78 billion for investments aimed at energy efficiency, rewarding energy savings in production processes.
2. **Self-consumption and self-production:** €1.89 billion for renewable-energy self-production and self-consumption systems, excluding biomass.
3. **Training:** €630 million for staff training supporting the green transition.

The article states that eligible expenditure starts from 1 January 2024.

## Certification process

Companies seeking incentives are described as needing:

- an **ex ante** certification by an independent evaluator, such as an ESCo, confirming project eligibility against fossil-fuel consumption reduction criteria;
- an **ex post** certification confirming implementation and measuring the achieved energy-efficiency and renewable self-consumption benefit.

Whitenergy states that, as a UNI EN 11352-certified ESCo, it has experience with projects approved by the GSE and can support project identification, implementation and ex ante/ex post certification.

## Individual Remote Self-Consumption (AID)

The article presents AID as a mechanism under the distributed self-consumption decree.

- Photovoltaic plants can be up to 1 MWp.
- Plants are described as being virtually connected to industrial sites through the local electricity grid.
- The stated incentive can reach €118/MWh for electricity generated by the new plant and withdrawn by the production site in the same hour.
- Unlike a CER, AID can be implemented by a single actor acting as producer and consumer, without creating a new legal entity.

According to the article, combining electricity-market revenues and the incentive can reduce the energy cost associated with the shared portion by up to 100%, with stated investment payback periods between 2 and 5 years.

## Community benefit and Whitenergy services

The decree is described as requiring part of the incentive to benefit individuals and/or social purposes in the local area.

Whitenergy states that its AID services cover identification, construction and management of photovoltaic plants eligible for GSE incentives, energy valorization, incentive recognition and support for managing the portion of the incentive allocated to the community.
