System Energy

Energy costs and security have returned to the forefront of the industrial agenda. For manufacturing districts, solar power and energy storage are matters of competitiveness and control over their future production capabilities.

"Under what conditions should we invest?" This is the question every company must answer while navigating increasingly complex authorization processes and market regulations. How much does a grid connection cost, and how long does it take to obtain? What can be installed, and where? When does an energy storage system pay for itself? Which rules apply now, and which will apply in three years—the typical horizon for an industrial plan?

SSEC 2026 places these questions at the heart of a technical discussion involving three Italian manufacturing regions—Confindustria Vicenza, Confindustria Brescia, and Confindustria Alto Adriatico—each with a distinct industrial history but shared growth objectives.

Speakers include:
- Renato Zelcher, Vice President of Confindustria Vicenza (Energy Portfolio);
- Riccardo Monaci, Confindustria Brescia (Energy and Environment Department);
- Paolo Badin, Confindustria Alto Adriatico (Environment and Energy Transition Representative).

This discussion aims to be the first step in a broad, collaborative journey across these regions, shifting the perspective on solar power and storage from mere corporate cost items to essential components of production capacity.
