Italy is set to get 2.76 billion euros
from the RePowerEU Plan on the basis of an agreement reached by
EU economy ministers on Tuesday.
The plan seeks to help countries end their reliance on Russian
fossil fuels following the invasion of Ukraine by diversifying
of energy supplies and accelerating the roll-out of renewables,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the process.
Italy, which was highly reliant on Russian gas at the start of
the war but has been working hard to find alternative suppliers,
is the top beneficiary of the plan along with Poland, as it is
set to get 13.8% of the fund's 20 billion euros.
