Italy's right-wing coalition divides over solar panel installation ban on agricultural land, potentially hindering decarbonization goals.

Italy's right-wing coalition is divided over a possible ban on solar panel installations on agricultural land, which could hinder Rome's decarbonisation goals. The draft decree, proposed by Agricultural Minister Francesco Lollobrigida, states that areas categorized as agricultural by municipal plans would be unsuitable for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. This move has met resistance from Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, who supports national efforts to increase renewable energy capacity.
