What is Transition Plan 5.0?
The Transition Plan 5.0 represents the evolution of the previous Transition Plan 4.0. This new phase focuses not only on the digitalization of production processes, but also on environmental and social sustainability, a unique opportunity for all Italian companies. The plan aims to reduce energy consumption through the adoption of advanced and sustainable technologies. Divided into 21 paragraphs, the program covers three main areas:
- Investments in advanced technologies 4.0: Purchase of new-generation machinery and equipment to increase productivity and reduce environmental impact.
- Promotion of the use of renewable energy: Installation of photovoltaic systems and storage systems (excluding biomass) to increase energy independence.
- Training for ecological transition: Development of professional skills to support the energy transition of companies.
What investments are included?
The investments covered by the Transition Plan 5.0 include a wide range of innovative technologies and solutions. These include the adoption of advanced digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotics. The plan also supports energy efficiency systems and the use of renewable energy, as well as solutions for sustainable resource management. Furthermore, cybersecurity infrastructures and worker training and reskilling programs are an integral part of the investments.
In Industry 5.0, the driving products are the products and services that enable the acceleration of innovation and technological development. Among these, the ECOSTAB IREM energy optimizers, perfectly aligned with the project objectives, are energy saving devices that, through the systematic and controlled reduction of the network voltage, allow to improve the Power Quality and reduce the absorption of active and reactive power.
Who can benefit from the incentives of the Transition Plan 5.0?
The Transition Plan 5.0 is inclusive and open to all Italian businesses, regardless of size and sector. Small, medium and large businesses can all benefit from the incentives, with particular attention to those that invest in advanced technologies and sustainable solutions.
