The DM was published in the Italian Official Gazette No. 109 of 12 May 2011, and sets out the tariffs available under, and the
terms and conditions to be admitted to, the new incentive system: the Fourth Conto Energia.
This briefing discusses the criteria for admission to the Fourth Conto Energia, the new registration requirement applicable to large plants, and the caps that will apply to the incentives for the
