Photovoltaic Plant on an Industrial Scale
Artelia Italia has recently signed a framework agreement with WKN Italia Srl for the design and authorisation of utility scale photovoltaic plants distributed across the country. The initiative aims to contribute significantly to the achievement of the ambitious 2030 targets for the production of electricity from renewable energy sources.
Among the first results of this collaboration is the photovoltaic plant in Grosseto, designed by Artelia Italia according to the “advanced agri-voltaic” model. The solution adopted fully complies with the requirements of CEI PAS 82-93 standard for agri-voltaic plants, guaranteeing perfect integration between agricultural activity and clean energy production. The plant fits harmoniously into the local landscape, ensuring the continuity of agricultural activities for years to come and contributing to a significant reduction in the amount of water needed by crops compared to the situation prior to the intervention. The infrastructure, which covers an area of approximately 100 hectares divided into three lots, will be able to produce approximately 133 GWh of clean energy annually. This is an amount equal to about half of the electricity needs of households in the entire Province of Grosseto, according to data provided by TER - NA (2020). The project will also avoid the emission of about 55,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year. An important step towards energy transition and environmental sustainability, which demonstrates how technological innovation and territorial protection can coexist in perfect balance.
