The conference has been a chance for discussing in matter of energy sector’s perspectives in our Country. Notably, it arose out that the renewable energy sources development and the announced revival of the nuclear energy are two essential and perfectly consistent requirements for the achievement of a balanced productive mixture, capable to face the growing demand and at the same time to contribute to the prices control and reduction of emissions.
As far as the photovoltaic sector is concerned, an analyses prepared by EnVent on listed companies of such a sector highlights that, after a decrease registered in 2008, stressed by the financial crisis of the last winter, the soft recovery of the average multiples of the first months of 2009 points out that the stock exchange trusts the retrieval perspectives and the further development of the enterprises operating in this sector.
