Transition 5.0: available funds exhausted, new reservations remained valid

November 7, 2025
From 7 November 2025, the funds available under the Transition 5.0 Plan were fully allocated, but this did not automatically prevent new reservation notices from being filed. Applications could still be submitted and remained relevant if further funds became available, based on chronological filing order. For businesses with investments already underway, accurate technical and documentary management therefore became essential.

Could new reservation notices still be filed?

The measure did not immediately prevent further reservation notices from being filed. Applications submitted from 7 November until the relevant deadline could still be validly lodged and receive a filing receipt; if additional resources later became available, as a result of the ranking being updated or further funds being allocated, the Italian Energy Services Operator (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici – GSE) would inform businesses according to the chronological order of submission.

What did businesses with ongoing applications need to do?

For businesses with investments already underway or applications in progress, the exhaustion of funds made the proper management of technical and accounting documentation even more important, including ex-ante and ex-post certifications, evidence of interconnection, documentation of eligible costs and compliance with the applicable deadlines.

What should the business do?

check the status of the application submitted and the related GSE filing receipt;
verify the completeness of the technical and accounting documentation already prepared;
coordinate investment completion dates with the required certifications;
ensure consistency and traceability among purchase orders, invoices, payments, eligible assets and data filed with the GSE.

What are the main legal and administrative references?

Legal and administrative references: Article 38 of Decree-Law No. 19 of 2 March 2024, converted by Law No. 56 of 29 April 2024; MIMIT Directorial Decree of 6 November 2025; MIMIT notice of 7 November 2025.
