The latest remodulation of the Italian PNRR takes shape on the eve of the accreditation of the ninth installment of 12.8 billion, which should be made official in these hours. The details were illustrated by Minister Tommaso Foti, first in the very quick control room meeting held yesterday late morning for fifteen minutes, and then, above all, in the subsequent hearing before the joint Constitutional Affairs and Budget committees of the Chamber and Senate.

A 2.1 billion revision
The adjustments concern about ninety measures and, alongside the usual technical corrections on milestones and targets to ensure their achievement, move a total of 2.1 billion euros. The first to lose resources, as widely announced, is the project for the liberalization of Intercity and regional railway services, which would take off through Rosco, the public company tasked with purchasing and then leasing trains to candidates offering the service under competition.
For green homes, a new one-billion facility
The objective, to which 1.2 billion euros were linked, was set aside by the Government a few weeks after negotiating it with the EU Commission. But the loss of funds was averted by the revision, which introduces a new one-billion facility to be used for interventions to strengthen the supply of green homes with high energy efficiency. An additional 200 million will be used to enhance the already existing measure on energy efficiency in public residential buildings (included in the PNRR with the major remodulation of November 2023), which shows a surplus of applications. In this way, the Housing Plan is strengthened, as announced in recent weeks by various members of the Executive.

Single ZES, minus 500 million for tax credits
Half a billion, however, is removed from the chapter that finances tax credits for investments in the single ZES of the South, because – as the minister explained – “the reporting difficulties were incompatible with the Plan’s deadlines.” However, European resources will be replaced by national funds in a budget that, always by virtue of the same rewriting, finds new room for diverting another 700 million to EU funds for Transition 5.0 tax breaks, the subject of an eternal dance in the continuous corrections of the PNRR. This latest give and take, however, seems to worry the Minister of Enterprises, Adolfo Urso, who, in the control room, according to Il Sole 24 Ore, expressed strong doubts about the technical feasibility of the operation. The reform of incentives, on which there is high tension between Mef and Mimit, has also come under scrutiny, although serenity about achieving the target is leaking from the latter.
Environment says goodbye to 232 million
The Ministry of Environment had to reprogram approximately 232 million: 33 million once again from electric charging stations, 73 million from the sewage and purification investment, 100 million from agro-voltaic, and 26 million from the intervention for the sustainable supply of critical raw materials. Agriculture, for its part, reduced the “mechanization” item by 12 million and the agri-solar park by 158 million. Another 90 million are freed up from the LogIN measure of the Ministry of Infrastructure, which was worth 157 million in total and aimed to support the digital transformation of freight transport and logistics companies.
