This paper examines the new regulatory framework governing the Simplified Enabling Procedure (PAS), introduced by Legislative Decree No. 190 of 25 November 2024 on renewable energy, in comparison with the previous regime set out in Legislative Decree No. 28/2011, as subsequently amended, and in light of the interpretative issues that have emerged in case law, particularly concerning the controversial legal nature of the procedure. The new configuration of PAS appears to align more clearly with the “silent consent” model, thereby overcoming the hybrid structure previously outlined in Legislative Decree No. 28/2011 as amended by Decree-Law No. 13/2023. The contribution pays particular attention to procedural aspects, focusing on the critical issues arising from the acquisition of consents in the presence of sectoral constraints, the integration phase of legal effectiveness through publi-cation in the Official Regional Bulletin (BUR), and the regime of administrative self-remedy. Finally, the paper assesses the potential constitutional concerns raised by the new model, especially regarding the EU-derived principle of maximum deployment of renewable energy sources. The reconstructive analysis reveals a renewed axiological significance of the certainty and stability of the authorizing title, no longer attributable solely to the subjective logic of legitimate expectation or to the market-oriented economic rationale, but rather aimed at fulfilling the prevailing interest
Il contributo analizza la nuova disciplina della Procedura Abilitativa Semplificata (PAS), introdotta dal d.lgs. 25 novembre 2024, n. 190 (c.d. Testo unico sulle energie rinnovabili), ponendola a confronto con il precedente assetto normativo recato dal d.lgs. n. 28/2011 e successive modifiche, nonché con le problematiche ricostruttive emerse in giurisprudenza, in particolare in merito alla sua controversa qualificazione giuridica. La nuova configurazione della PAS si colloca, infatti, con maggiore chiarezza nell’alveo del silenzio-assenso, superando il modello ibrido delineato dal d.lgs. n. 28/2011, come modificato dal d.l. n. 13/2023. Il saggio dedica particolare attenzione alla disciplina procedurale e soprattutto alle criticità connesse all’acquisizione di atti di assenso in presenza di vincoli settoriali, alla fase integrativa dell’efficacia mediante pubblicazione sul BUR e alla disciplina dell’autotutela sul titolo. Il con-tributo valuta infine le potenziali criticità costituzionali del nuovo modello, soprattutto in relazione al principio, di matrice europea, della massima diffusione delle energie rinnovabili. Dal quadro ricostruttivo emerge una rinnovata valenza assiologica della certezza e stabilità del titolo, non più riconducibile alla sola logica soggettiva dell’affidamento né a quella economicistica del mercato, ma orientata alla realizzazione dell’interesse prevalente alla massima diffusione delle energie rinnovabili.

This paper examines the new regulatory framework governing the Simplified Enabling Procedure (PAS), introduced by Legislative Decree No. 190 of 25 November 2024 on renewable energy, in comparison with the previous regime set out in Legislative Decree No. 28/2011, as subsequently amended, and in light of the interpretative issues that have emerged in case law, particularly concerning the controversial legal nature of the procedure. The new configuration of PAS appears to align more clearly with the “silent consent” model, thereby overcoming the hybrid structure previously outlined in Legislative Decree No. 28/2011 as amended by Decree-Law No. 13/2023.
