On January 12th 2026, Palmanova Renewable Energy Community was officially established, an important step in the project pilot implementation.

The city of Palmanova is one of the pilot neighbourhoods of ZEB4ZEN project. Built as a Renaissance fortress, it features a unique star-shaped plan; to preserve its architecture and historic role, the italian laws forbid the construction of pv roofs on the buildings inside the historic centre.

A solution was found to use renewable energy in this context: a pv plant outside the city walls will provide with green electricity the members of the Renewable Energy Community.
