PPA Committee main goals

              o Review PPA perception and experiences from participants
              o Understand the risks and opportunities offered by the contractual instrument
                for the different market players
              o Identify a range of best practices to refer to or to meet counterparties'
                expectations
              o Identify Italian market possible barriers for PPA diffusion
              o Review possible actions to remove possible barriers
              o Make proposals shared by the Committee itself

The PPA Committee has verified the existence of a community of interests and a widespread
consensus around PPA as a market tool for the development of renewable capacity

                                                                                         3
