Green Certificates: ongoing developments in applicable legislation
3 January 2011
The Italian Government has approved Law Decree No. 78 of 31 May 2010,
which contains urgent measures for financial stabilisation and economical
competitiveness. Article 45 of the Law Decree repeals both Article 2, paragraph 149 of Law No. 244 of 24 December 2007 and Article 15 paragraph 1 of Ministerial
Decree No. 35467 of 18 December 2008. The repeal of these provisions sets the basis for what may be a permanent abolition of the mandatory purchase regime for Green Certificates.
