– usability, dissemination and quality of services for the public, especially as far as
disadvantage areas and users
– improvement of environmental sustainability of energy supply
– reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
PER stresses the need of creating a context which can support the development
of practices based on the principles of environmental and energy sustainability,
aimed at the rational energy use and the use of renewable energy sources, together
with the increase in the supply of high efficiency cogeneration services. This could
provide the opportunity of fully using the produced thermic energy, also through the
development of district heating networks for local communities. In this way the territorial planning would comply with the general objectives of energy sustainability
set by LR n 26/04, art. 1, paragraph 3.
During the last years electric power plants based on renewable sources (water,
wind, solar and biomasses) have grown in the regional territory. Nevertheless, they
do not play a key role yet within the regional electrical balance. Among these plants,
also thanks to the promotion politics that have been implemented both at national
and regional level, the solar (in terms of number of plants) and the biomass (in terms
of power) plants have had the biggest success.
Emilia-Romagna Region is aware of the need further promote renewable energy
given that its exploitation contributes to climate change mitigation through the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable development, security of supply
and the development of a knowledge based industry, economic growth. According
to directive COM (2008) 19, Italy’s target for share of energy from renewable
sources in final consumption of energy to be reached by 2020 is 17 %, with an
indicative trajectory set out to meet that share. Italy is the third producer of GHG in
EU-27. In order to meet the “Kyoto goal”, in 2012 Italy must reduce its emissions
of 6,5 % of 1990 level.
Regional Territorial Plan (PTR)
PTR was approved by Regional assembly resolution n. 276 of 3/2/2010 and it
replaces the previous one approved in 1990. The regional law n. 20/2000 conceives
it as the instrument to be used for setting the goals and ensuring social development
and cohesion, improving regional competitiveness, ensuring social and environmental sources replicability and enhancement. The Plan does not include a list of
issues to be ruled, but it sets economic, social, environmental and territorial goals
and objectives to be reached.
According to the Plan, reduction of energy consumption can bring new chances
not only for energy, plant and building related firms, but also for innovation of products and processes. This can help housing sector improve its quality and security.
Emilia Romagna Region is already providing support in this sense through regional
norms amendment.
PTR identifies bio-building and energy spare as the sectors where currently innovation mechanisms can be included in order to reach excellence, also at international level. In the framework of new energy politics, firms must play a leading role,
