[Solar: Italy’s FerX auctions to allocate 10GW of PV capacity in 2026-2027]

Published: May 21, 2026 15:13
Italian energy agency GSE said upcoming FerX renewable energy auctions planned for 2026 and 2027 will allocate 10GW of PV capacity and 16GW of wind power. The goal is to hold one auction by the end of this year and two more in 2027, pending final EU approval. The first FerX auction awarded 7.7GW of PV capacity at an average price of EUR 0.05682/kWh, while the second solar auction allocated 1.1GW and was the first to apply NZIA resilience criteria, excluding Chinese modules, cells and inverters for PV projects above 1MW. SMM believes Italy’s FerX scheme is supporting renewable deployment while strengthening Europe’s push for localized and diversified clean energy supply chains.

[SMM PV] Policies continue to strengthen, and capacity rationalization standards may be implemented at an accelerated pace
People's Daily published an article titled "PV Industry Moving Toward a More Rational, Stable, and Sustainable New Stage," and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) held an expert symposium, once again stressing the need to thoroughly rectify "involution-style" competition. It is rumored that the new round of exit standards for energy consumption and efficiency are about to be released, which could drive a 20-30% capacity rationalization in the PV sector, thereby leading the industry to quickly cross the inflection point of a new cycle. From an industry pattern perspective, as a typical asset-heavy sector, supply-side rationalization is the fastest way for the PV industry to enter a new cycle and also the most crucial anchor for the "reversal" logic traded in capital markets. The pace and intensity of policy implementation will serve as a key catalyst for the subsequent market trend.
