Futurasun obtains legal clearance to develop 20 MW solar project at Castello di Monteserico

Type: Development · Technology: Solar · Country: Italy · Capacity: 20 MW · Announced: 2026-09-11

The Consiglio di Stato (CdS) ruled in favor of Futurasun, overturning a regional ban that prohibited the development of a 20 MW ground-mounted photovoltaic plant at the Castello di Monteserico site in Genzano di Lucania. The court invalidated the restrictive prescription 3.1.2 of the regional decree (DGR 345/2022) which had effectively banned new renewable energy installations in agricultural areas, citing a lack of proper public consultation and environmental balancing. While the landscape protection status of the area remains in force, the decision allows the project to proceed, marking a material regulatory victory for the developer. The ruling also sets a precedent for other companies seeking to develop renewable energy projects within the same protected territory.
