Never one to do anything by half-measures, a somewhat surprising legacy of ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government has been to send installed capacity in Italy’s photovoltaic (PV) market soaring through the roof. Reacting to a resounding public vote against nuclear power in 2011, a fourth edition of feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) was announced for the sector and though somewhat reduced, they were still high enough to keep Italy’s “PV counter” ticking faster than ever.
Will Italy’s FiTs Survive the Fall of Berlusconi?
