The Council of Ministers , on the proposal of the Minister for Regional Affairs and Autonomies Roberto Calderoli, has also challenged the latest law on suitable areas in Sardinia, number 31 approved last November 6, which introduced some changes to law 20 of December 2024 rejected in recent days by the Constitutional Court .
The government is targeting a 90-day "mini-moratorium" during which, as stated in the regional provision, "authorization requests for renewable energy plants that fall within areas not included among the eligible areas cannot be processed, nor can new requests be submitted."
The law was intended to resolve the interpretative issues that threatened to hinder the energy transition and the implementation of Law 20 of 2024.
According to the national executive, according to a press release from Palazzo Chigi, certain provisions, "exceeding their statutory powers and conflicting with national and European legislation regarding freedom of economic initiative and the production, transport, and national distribution of energy, violate Articles 41 and 117, paragraphs one and three, of the Constitution ; as well as the principles of equality and proper functioning of public administration set forth in Articles 3 and 97 of the Constitution."
