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

Lesson learned from international experience: favourable context elements stimulate the meeting of stakeholders ✓ Increasing cost competitiveness of renewables in relation to market prices ✓ Adequate availability of renewable projects in substantial market parity ✓ Ambitiousness of environmental and decarbonisation objectives at corporate level and imposed at public level ✓ Level of pressure from institutions and stakeholders about these objectives ✓ Motivation of final consumers ✓ Proactivity and support of governmental/institutional bodies ✓ Stability and transparency of the regulatory environment ✓ Availability of tools to mitigate risks of various kinds ✓ Phase out incentives ✓ Tax credit ✓ Last resort buyer 10

The use of flexible pricing formulas and best contractual practices allows for an optimal allocation of market risk between counterparties and agreement endurance • Adequate only on short deadlines (up to about 5 years) • Probability that the PPA will Fixed price go out of the money during • On longer contractual deadlines (10 years and the validity period more) the fixed price is risky also in consideration of the impossibility of implementing adequate hedging instruments available on the markets • Risk of leakage, triggering greater possibilities of default and compromising bankability requirements • They can allow for a dynamic rebalancing of opportunities and risks between counterparties in Flexible price relation to the dynamics that take place in the markets 13
Questionnaire PPA as a private instrument The main orientation is to exclude Should the PPA be an exclusively private instrument, in which there is public intervention to support PPA no intervention by the public sphere? Cumulated score • Subscribeable PPA volumes depend on market variables and parties' expectations in the LT • Option to develop renewable capacity in line with national policy but cannot in itself guarantee the achievement of the objectives of the PNIEC Not at all agreeable Totally agree 14
Shared position within the PPA Committee Market conditions for the PRIORITY development of PPA are met FIRST STEP: Strengthening of authorisation and market mechanisms • Presence of market parity • efficient and timely authorisation processes conditions for renewables • completion of dispatching market reforms, including by fostering storage • Quantitatively more and more • acceleration in completing network reinforcements challenging and unsustainable Field experience RES objectives with public EVENTUAL SECOND PHASE: Public intervention in intervention support of PPA • Demand incentive 15
PPA Committee: not an end, but a new starting point! Analysis of new demand • Italian companies are ready to establish themselves drivers: finance and as conscious protagonists in the transition process climate Art.2 Paris Agreement • PPA, a model for energy trading and growth of RES in the absence of incentives, are now the most appropriate response • Decision-makers and policy makers can (and must) contribute by ensuring a robust market organisation PPA Pilot and efficient authorisation processes Market evolution • In a context of certain rules, the market will be able monitoring vs. to find contractual forms that establish themselves auctions as best practices, allowing the appropriate distribution of risks and the spread of PPA Focus on authorization processes 16
