Abstrakt
This article examines the use of temporary associations of undertakings (associazioni temporanee di imprese, ‘ATI’) in Italian agrivoltaic projects, a contractual architecture increasingly adopted to integrate energy generation with continued agricultural activity under the PNRR incentive scheme. The study reconstructs the private-law structure of the ATI and tests its operational resilience against the MiTE Guidelines of 27 June 2022 and the binding framework introduced by Ministerial Decree of 22 December 2023, No 436, as implemented through the GSE Operational Rules. Methodologically, the analysis combines doctrinal and systematic interpretation of the Italian Civil Code’s agency/representation tools with a regulatory reading of the incentive requirements and their documentary conditionality. The article shows that agrivoltaic ATIs cannot be meaningfully framed through the ‘horizontal/vertical’ categories of public procurement, because energy and agriculture are interdependent and equally necessary components of project qualification. It concludes that bankability and compliance depend on drafting an ‘Agency Arrangement’, internal governance rules, technical annexes and an agricultural management plan capable of ensuring continuity of farming, traceability, and allocative clarity of responsibilities, including for changes in participating entities. Finally, it identifies minimum contractual safeguards to align permitting titles with incentive entitlement and to manage ATI–SPV transitions without jeopardising eligibility.
