## Event overview

More than 300 registered participants took part in White Focus 2023, White Energy Group's annual online event. The event focused on industrial decarbonization and transition, covering technical and contractual solutions, incentives and products.

## Renewable energy communities and remote self-consumption

A central theme was renewable energy communities and remote self-consumption. The article reports that the Italian CER decree received approval in Brussels during the event.

The proposal discussed at the event included a dedicated €5.7 billion fund to support renewable-energy self-consumption models.

Alessandro Spiri of White Energy highlighted contractual models and incentives. The article states that remote self-consumption allows companies to use energy generated by plants located several kilometres away and access incentives linked to energy-community mechanisms without directly participating in a CER.

The article also reports that, under the draft decree discussed, the portion of the incentive exceeding 55% for individual remote self-consumption would be allocated to third parties other than companies, such as families, public bodies or social-purpose organizations.

## CER decree provisions described in the article

- Incentive tariff for renewable energy produced and shared
- Non-repayable contribution
- Total financeable capacity: 5 GW
- Time limit: end of 2027
- Eligible renewable technologies cited: photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric and biomass

## Other technical themes

The event also addressed:

- incentives for industrial decarbonization;
- benefits of cogeneration for industry;
- integration of cogeneration with photovoltaic systems;
- very high-efficiency thermal plants.

Experts from FIRE Italia, Algowatt, AB Energy, Unical and Sani Zangrando took part alongside Whitenergy.

## White Energy Group perspective

Gianluigi Mele, CEO of White Energy, states in the article that energy transition is necessary for companies seeking to reduce costs and environmental impact while remaining competitive and sustainable. He also emphasizes the importance of combining knowledge of technologies and applications with knowledge of incentives, grants and tax benefits relevant to specific sectors and applications.
