Photovoltaic, boom in requests. AER asks the Government for a confrontation and says no to panels on the land
We are witnessing a epochal change in approach of San Marino citizens and companies ai energy saving issues. The AER, Association of Renewable Energy Companies, notes that its ten-year push for less gas and more sun is gathering great consensus, almost a “Hysterical rush”defines it President Luciano Zanotti. “If before – he explains – 100 photovoltaic systems are built a year, today it is likely to reach 500“.
He warns against everything immediately: “San Marino law is innovative but complex“, And invites interventions relying on professionals of the Titan, that I know that law well. “There are constant requests for the transfer from gas energy to solar energy, the result of a campaign that we have been doing for many years. But today bills, war and Covid have awakened to conscience. We at AER know how to dare an answer to everyone, so we suggest you carefully and to make use of San Marino companies “.
To better face the change taking place, the Association asks the Government for a dialogue table, ready to support it as it has already done since 2005 for the law on renewables. We ask to organizes a series of meetings which can lead to new and innovative laws, just as previous ones have been. We have skills and ideas”, Affirms Zanotti, who fears heavy on the part of the state to approach photovoltaics. Our will is not to be questioned, because we believe we have an interesting know-how for the Governmentso that the laws are from below and not from above.
There are possibilities of external interventions and this is fine because perhaps the know-how is not yet mature but we can manage it. We also suggest to the Government of do not affect our beautiful territories and lands, because there is so much built up and it should be used as a support surface. There will certainly be many industrialists and entrepreneurs content to make their roofs available ”. Zanotti’s message is clear: “No panels on the ground”.
