Energy transition and renewable energy policies in Italy
Abstract
Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of continuously updating emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal.
In particular, this section, International Regulations and Legislation for the Energy Transition, explores the challenges and opportunities in the urban context to understand the evolving landscape of the global energy transition. In this direction, the contribution of this review note examines contribution examines the role of cities in the energy transition, focusing on Italian and European policies and regulations, with particular attention to Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). It analyzes the Renewable Energy Directive II and its transposition in Italy, highlighting challenges and the need for coordination between urban and energy planning.
