Need to adopt a new Regional Energy
Plan that defines the necessary priority
areas, actions and instruments.
Regional energy Plan
4 axis of action:
I axis Promotion of the production of energy
from renewable sources (8.500.000€);
II axis Promotion of efficiency and energy-
saving (16.100.000€);
III axis Promotion of grid and assisted
generation(4.000.000€);
IV Promotion of clean economy chain and
regional cluster specialization(10.500.000€).
