PNRR M2C2 I1.2 — Comunità Energetiche Rinnovabili (CER)

PNRR M2C2 I1.2 Comunità Energetiche Rinnovabili (CER) is MASE's flagship route for renewable-energy communities inside Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. It sits under the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security and is operated through GSE, the state energy services company, while MASE keeps policy oversight. The program combines a capital grant of up to 40 percent of eligible costs with an incentive tariff of EUR 0.11 per kWh for 20 years on shared energy. The installed plant must be no larger than 1 MW, and the community must be located in a municipality of up to 50,000 inhabitants. The 2025 window reopened on July 21, 2025 and closed on November 30, 2025, and the program has also received additional funds in 2026. CER is strongest for investors and community groups that can organize a certified local energy community, document shared generation, and align a project with municipal-scale consumption. The measure is designed for clean-power self-consumption, so the best applicants are those with a site, a community structure, and the administrative capacity to work through GSE's process. Projects that can show local governance and a committed operating partner have the clearest path, because the route rewards readiness more than novelty.
