Biography

Alessandra joined the Electricity Team of the Florence School of Regulation as a Research Associate in November 2024.
At the FSR, she is currently investigating EU legislation on energy sharing and its implementation at the national level – being involved in the Horizon project U2Demo – as well as the interplay between EU consumer law and the development of new energy services.
In the context of her PhD, she explored the technology neutrality principle, critically assessing its boundaries and interpretative challenges in the context of the European green transition. As part of the PhD programme – funded by the Italian National Operational Programme on Research and Innovation – she gained practical experience as a legal practitioner at Dolomiti Energia Group in Trento. Moreover, she carried out research stays at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg and the NOVA Green Lab at NOVA School of Law in Lisbon.
She graduated in EU law from the University of Trento in July 2021 and completed her PhD at the same University in June 2025. She is also a qualified lawyer in Italy.
