🚀 In this Solarplaza Webinar, we explored the "bull market" phase currently defining utility-scale PV and BESS in Italy. As investment interest surges, we shifted the focus from broad market optimism to the concrete regulatory shifts and revenue models required to capitalize on Italy’s accelerated renewable expansion.

📌 What we learned:
• Bull Market Drivers: The specific regulatory and grid dynamics fueling the current investment surge.
• Revenue Strategies: How to align financial models with evolving Italian market signals.
• Pipeline Optimization: Navigating local complexities to move projects from planning to reality.
• Grid Capacity: Real-world solutions for connecting utility-scale assets in a saturated landscape.
• Profit Maximization: Expert tactics to secure long-term bankability during this growth cycle.

🎙️ Featuring:
Paolo Rocco Viscontini, President, ITALIA SOLARE
Matteo Coriglioni, Head of Italy, Aurora Energy Research
