Description

  • operation of generation facilities that produce electricity from renewable sources (e.g. gaseous biofuels, hydropower, on-shore and off-shore wind power, photovoltaic solar energy and thermal solar energy, geothermal energy and tide, wave and ocean energy)
  • operation of generation facilities that produce electricity from renewable sources by Renewable Energy Communities (RECs)

Exclusion notes

Excluded from group 35.1:

  • separate production and distribution of steam and heat, see 35.3

Frequently asked questions

I operate a solar or wind power plant — is that ATECO code 35.12.00?
Yes. 35.12.00 covers the production of electricity from renewable sources: solar photovoltaic and solar thermal, onshore and offshore wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, gaseous biofuels, and tidal and wave energy. It is the use of a renewable source that places this activity here rather than in 35.11.00.
Does a Renewable Energy Community (REC) that generates electricity use 35.12.00?
Yes. The Italian description of 35.12.00 explicitly mentions the operation of renewable generation plants by Renewable Energy Communities. It is the reference code for any entity that produces green energy, including RECs.
I install solar panels but do not operate the plant — does 35.12.00 still apply?
Usually not. 35.12.00 is for operating a plant that generates electricity. Installing a photovoltaic system on a building is a construction activity, classified under 43.21.01; if you also sell the electricity produced, refer to 35.15.00.
