The Puglia region has approved a law to enable the installation of renewable energy plants, including biomass facilities in agricultural areas and industrial land, to meet national regulatory requirements. The law identifies new suitable areas, including those near electrical substations and water infrastructure, and permits floating photovoltaic systems in irrigation basins.
