Italy to present new solar plan Thursday: minister

Italy, Europe's third-biggest solar power market, will present a much-awaited new solar power incentives scheme at a meeting on Thursday, Industry Minister Claudio Scajola said on Wednesday.

Asked by reporters if the plan will be presented at a key meeting of a body that oversees relations between the central government and regions, Scajola said "there are many meetings in the programme, there is also that one."

But the meeting of the "Unified Conference of State and Regions" which should approve the plan before it goes for signing by industry and environment ministers is yet to be called, said an official at the state body.
