Starlight wins dispute with the Sicilian Region: €70 million worth of renewable energy plants unlocked

Valeria Viti, partner at the firm, together with Lorenzo Massaro and Cesare Gatti, commented in Il Sole 24 Ore on the final ruling that unlocks €70 million in infrastructure investments, confirming the full legitimacy of Starlight’s operating model based on the sale of assets under development.

“We are proud to have assisted Starlight (NextEnergy Group) in a dispute of great importance for the entire renewable energy sector: with recent rulings nos. 758 and 759, the C.G.A. for the Sicilian Region declared unlawful a regional regulation that hindered the free movement of projects in the authorization phase.”

This decision, which was eagerly awaited by the market, reestablishes a key principle of entrepreneurial freedom and investment attractiveness in the energy sector.
