  • •Italy is focusing on solar and biomethane technologies to enhance energy independence.
  • •The US is seeing a resurgence in nuclear power to support data centers and AI demands.

The global push for decarbonization is reshaping energy infrastructure projects, driven by climate change and energy security concerns. Governments are implementing ambitious renewable energy targets amid geopolitical instability, leading to a complex regulatory landscape. Italy is advancing solar and biomethane technologies, while the US is experiencing a nuclear renaissance to meet the energy demands of data centers and AI infrastructure. This article discusses regulatory shifts impacting energy projects, focusing on evolving social licenses and financial considerations. Italy's recent legislative changes aim to enhance renewable energy development, particularly in response to its historical reliance on Russian gas, which constituted about 43% of its supply prior to the Russia-Ukraine War. The regulatory changes include simplifying authorization procedures and introducing new incentives for renewable energy projects.
