(Adnkronos) - “Efficienza energetica incide su finanze pubbliche: investire oggi significa avere vantaggi nel medio termine, e l’Europa va in questa direzione. Le fonti rinnovabili, a livello di investimenti, rendono quasi il doppio rispetto a quelle fossili. Oggi in Italia ci sono oltre 81.000 progetti in fase di attuazione, che avranno effetti sull’economia. La collaborazione di Enea con le istituzioni è importante anche per definire gli scenari di intervento”. Così Lilia Cavallari, Presidente dell’Ufficio Parlamentare di Bilancio, all’evento di presentazione del 13° Rapporto annuale sull’efficienza energetica elaborato dall’Enea

00:00Today, on this day, we have talked about the ENEA report on energy efficiency and we have
00:10talked about, as far as I am concerned, from my point of view, from the point of view of
00:14the office, which is that of the implications that energy efficiency policies have on public
00:20finance.
00:21These are clearly important implications and they are policies that, by their nature, have
00:27immediate costs and benefits that differ over time, so they require a long-term view,
00:32they require the ability to look beyond the present, and the new European rules help
00:39to look beyond the present, because they guide the policy of balance towards a medium-term
00:44programme.
00:45Now, the financial resources available for measures for energy efficiency are not only
00:53related to the provisions in the balance sheet, but also to the important contributions
00:57of the cohesion funds to the PNRR.
01:00Today, I have given some figures on the current status of the PNRR projects related to energy
01:07efficiency.
01:08These are more than 81,000 projects in the relatively advanced phase of operation, although
01:16the number of projects is still very small in the conclusion phase.
01:22So, the first indication that emerges is the need to act quickly on the PNRR, in particular
01:31on the projects related to energy efficiency, and this is also important for a reason,
01:38and that is that these projects have an impact on the economy, on growth, which is higher
01:45than projects, for example, on non-renewable energy, so the multiplier of investments in
01:52alternative energy, in renewable energy, is about twice as much as the multiplier of investments
01:58in fossil energy.
01:59So, moving forward with the PNRR, moving forward even after the PNRR with this type of objective,
02:07and also in the implementation of the European directives, and in this moving forward, it
02:14is also important to collaborate between institutions, so between the ENEA and the Parliamentary Office
02:20of Bilancio.
02:21We have used the ENEA monitoring data in many parliamentary hearings, especially
02:28with reference to the bonuses and benefits, and we have used them to show the distributive
02:34effects, therefore for the income class of the beneficiary, the effects on the territory,
02:38the effects for the energy class.
02:41This is what emerges from our analysis, which emerges from our analysis, that there are
02:45broad margins to make these incentives more suitable to give the maximum contribution
02:57in terms of energy savings and public resources parity.
03:00Public resources are limited at the moment, so we must go with incentives, incentives
03:06that are monitorable first, subject to a selective expenditure ceiling, selective
03:13regarding both the type of activity, so the type, for example, of condominiums, of facilitated
03:20residences, and with respect to the beneficiary's plenum, so it is important to provide technical
03:28analysis, both from an engineering point of view and from an economic point of view,
03:34of what are the implications of the different scenarios of intervention, and so this is
03:39an open field for institutional collaboration.
