Enel: construction of a photovoltaic system in Italy

(CercleFinance.com) - Enel Green Power has kicked off the construction of a photovoltaic system in the municipality of Trino, in the province of Vercelli (Piedmont).


The photovoltaic power facility is to be built on an area of approximately 130 hectares and will consist of nearly 160,000 modules, with a capacity of 86 MW.

It will be one of the largest solar power plants in Northern Italy. Once fully operational, it will be able to produce approximately 130 GWh each year, making it possible to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by about 56,000 tonnes and to cut down on gas consumption by 29 million cubic metres, replacing it with locally produced renewable energy.

Eleonora Petrarca, Head of Business Development Italy at Enel Green Power, said: “This project, which is based on constructive and positive dialogue with the local community, will allow Trino to once again be a key player in energy production by adopting a sustainable and forward-looking approach, in line with national, European, and global emission reduction and decarbonisation targets”.
