On 1 May 2015, the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) published the Regole per il mantenimento degli incentivi in Conto Energia (the guidelines). This is a set of guidelines for the implementation and communication of modifications to photovoltaic (PV) plants receiving incentives under any of the five Conto Energia.
Contrary to past practice, the GSE now requests that any kind of modification, irrespective of whether or not it is relevant for the award of the feed-in tariff (FiT), must be notified to the GSE. Any such modifications implemented in the past and not yet communicated to the GSE must be notified to the GSE within 30 days from publication of the Guidelines, i.e., by 31 May 2015. The burden of notification is increased by the duty to pay the administrative fees established by the Ministerial Decree of 24 December 2014, which, depending on the circumstances, can be disproportionally high.
