Italy has not yet submitted its
proposal for including RePowerEU measures to save energy,
produce clean energy and diversify energy supplies in its
post-Covid National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), a
European Commission spokesperson said on Monday.
"Italy has not yet submitted the new chapter on RepowerEu for
inclusion in the NRRP" as part of its revision of the EU funded
scheme to make the Italian economy greener and more modern on
condition that all agreed targets are met by 2026, said the
spokesperson.
There is, however, "constant contact" between Italy and
Brussels, she added.
Italy has access to 2.7 billion euros under the REPowerEU plan
approved by the EU in February 2023 to reduce dependency on
Russian fossil fuel imports, and which includes additional
resources for financing investment and reforms related to the
energy transition and decarbonisation.
Member States have been invited to present new RePowerEU
chapters to their NRRP indicating "new measures and new
investments" rather than a transfer of resources, the
spokesperson said.
Changes to the NRRP can still be requested if justified by
objective reasons, she added.
