This paper is a study about the renewable energy in particular about the interventions on the land, or of the wind and photovoltaic plants. The study area is the Molise Region in the south of Italy, which contains the greatest number of plants in relation to the whole national territory. In Italy there is also a big difference between the regions in terms of the guidelines and the law-making control of the plants localization. The study analyzes technical norms and suggests a new methodology that could support Local Authorities decisions.
