Interesting...it's the "law"...04.03.2005
ITALIAN SOLAR THERMAL INDUSTRY
Use of solar panels will be mandatory also in Tuscany according to a
new regional law in Italy
According to the new Regional law regulating energy in Tuscany, the installation of solar thermal equipment for water heating will be compulsory when building a new house or restructuring. In the latter cases (unless proven technical hindrances), solar thermal energy installations will have to supply at least the 50% of the annual requirement of water heating.
The obligation will not arise before a few months though, as the procedure necessary for the final approval is quite long and complicated. Under the approval of the Gas and Electric Energy Authority, agreements between the Region, electric energy and gas suppliers and users representatives are needed.
This confirms also the direction of the future plan of energetic development according to which renewable sources will have to represent the 50% of the energy produced in Tuscany (29% at present) and the 20% of the energy balance (11% now) within 2012.
Cash is King until further notice!!!
My comments on companies are usually my opinion of long term success (years). The PPS may go up or down greatly in the meantime depending on the number of greedy suckers with money.
