Stefano Lucarini of Tonucci & Partners has contributed to Legalcommunity with an in-depth article regarding the evolution of the Italian renewable energy market, in light of MASE Decree 291/2026 related to virtual grid saturation. The new regulatory framework marks a paradigm shift for operators in the sector: regarding grid connection, the capacity is confirmed for projects actually licensed, while the possibility of granting potential capacity exceeding the available one increases the risk for developers and investors.
“MASE Decree 291/2026 shifts the focus of risk upstream to the authorization process,” points out Stefano Lucarini. In an increasingly difficult and constantly evolving regulatory scenario, it is therefore essential to jointly address legal and technical complexity, assisting the project throughout its entire life cycle.
This is the context in which the collaboration between Tonucci & Partners and Bureau Veritas’ Renewables division is shaped, strengthened by extending it to Solida Italia group: an integrated assistance model designed to support developers and investors from the permission to EPC selection, from the construction stage to contract and claims management, up to the final commissioning of the plant.
