The Italian government is defining the details of its PV feed-in tariff. A decision will be made before the end of August, but at this stage the likely tariff rate is not clear. A recent interview with key government figures by the PV journal Photon indicated that a rate somewhere between 0,45 and 0,60 EUR/kWh guaranteed for 15 to 20 years is likely.

In R&D, the current focus seems to be on utiliy scale PV concentrating systems.
