Italy continues to advance national and regional programs centered on energy transition, urban regeneration, and social sustainability. The Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has launched the ‘Al Pianeta teniamo un mondo’ campaign to frame the ecological transition as a concrete process involving citizens and businesses. Renewable energy developments are expanding through integrated agricultural and municipal models. In Soncino, Cremona, a new project combines geothermal heat, solar photovoltaic energy, and biomethane production. In Domusnovas, nearly 1.2 million euros from the Just Transition Fund is being used to install photovoltaic systems and storage batteries across public buildings. Recent initiatives include the CER-a project in Cavallermaggiore, ~~presented by Confartigianato Cuneo,~~ which establishes a Renewable Energy Community to allow businesses and citizens to share ~~electricity from~~ electricity. In Torrenova, the Nebrodi CER renewable ~~sources.~~ energy community has launched an environmental education project for children to promote awareness of shared resources. Strategic discussions regarding the energy mix have progressed toward formal research frameworks. ENEA, in collaboration with the National Research Council (CNR) and MASE, has presented the first-year results of the 2025-2028 Nuclear Research Program (PRN). ~~This program focuses on nuclear fission, fusion, and training to consolidate a national supply chain.~~ In Rome, the Order of Journalists of Lazio is organizing a forum titled ‘All possible energies: from renewables to fusion’ to bring together government, academia, and industry experts to discuss the potential return of nuclear energy to the national debate.

Additionally, the Conto Termico 3.0 incentive program, managed by the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), is promoting energy efficiency through contributions for heat pumps and automation systems.
