Following the approval by the relevant ministries of the definitive project for the reorganization of the 150 kV electricity grid in the municipalities of San Procopio, Sinopoli and Melicuccà, in the province of Reggio Calabria, Terna publishes the notice containing the areas potentially affected by the intervention. The structural modernization project of the area’s electricity grid, for which the company led by Giuseppina Di Foggia will invest further 3 million euros, will guarantee greater operational reliability and environmental sustainability thanks to the reduction of the impact of existing overhead lines on the territory. Furthermore, the work will allow greater exploitation of the additional energy, also made available through the completion of the 380 kV “Sorgente – Rizziconi” submarine connection, thus guaranteeing more efficient coverage of the area’s needs.
In detail, Terna will build a new overhead power line of approximately 4 km, called “San Procopio – Palmi Sud”, thanks to which it will be possible to demolish the entire connection at 150 kV “Scilla – San Procopio” 14 km long and an 11 km section of the 150 kV “Palmi Sud – Scilla” power line. Overall, over 25 km of power lines will therefore be removed for a total of 74 supports and 75 hectares of freed territory, of which approximately 80% fall within the “Costa Viola” Special Protection Area which hosts marine and terrestrial habitats rich in biodiversity .
Terna plans to start i construction works in 2025, once all the preparatory phases for the opening of the construction sites have been completed. The owners of the parcels affected by the works can view the project documentation at the Municipalities of San Procopio, Sinopoli and Melicuccà (RC) and at Terna’s headquarters. For any communications, you can write to the Company within 30 days of the publication of the notice.
