On December 11 Social Impact Agenda for Italy (SIA) will present the findings of the research “Renewable Energy Communities with Impact: Models and Tools for Impact Investing in a Just Transition.” The study was conducted with the support of Amundi, Coopfond, CGM, and Intesa Sanpaolo, and developed in collaboration with BIP in partnership with AzzeroCO2, Bonelli Erede, ESTÀ, and Kyoto Club.

The research involved active participation from SIA’s member base, which represents Italy’s impact finance network, as well as engagement with key industry stakeholders. It identified and analyzed the most effective impact investment and financing solutions within the context of Renewable Energy Communities (CERs), starting with their technical-financial modeling.

What are the findings and issues that emerged from this research? How can they be implemented and developed within the current legislative, technical, and operational framework of CERs? Is it truly possible to use financial tools as leverage to enhance the social impact-generating potential of CERs in Italian territories?

These and other questions will be addressed on Wednesday, December 11, from 3:00 PM in Rome and online. Participants in the discussion will include policymakers, energy and impact evaluation experts, local administrators, public and private financiers, market actors, and third-sector representatives. The goal is to assess the conditions necessary to launch practical pilot projects across Italian territories.

The event is sponsored and hosted by Legacoop at their headquarters, Via Giuseppe Antonio Guattani, 9, Rome.

The event will also be streamed live.
