“Resources arrived thanks to our reforms’
Over 20 million arrive from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for purification interventions in Calabria.
In recent days, a program agreement was signed between the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (Mase), the Calabria Region and the Calabria Waste and Water Resources Authority (ArriCal) governing body.
The resources which the Region will benefit from will be made available for interventions which will concern, among other things, the efficiency of the purification plants, their bringing up to standard, the strengthening of the purification platforms, the creation of collection networks and the modernization of sewerage networks through the use and recourse to technological innovation.
The approved Program Agreement also provides for the implementation of the projects admitted to financing with regards to the ‘Green revolution and ecological transition’ and ‘Protection of the territory and water resources’ components.
The Calabria Region therefore accesses the Pnrr funds for purification within the resources relating to investment 4.4 ‘investments in sewerage and purification’, Mission 2 ‘green revolution and ecological transition’.
This was made possible thanks to the establishment, strongly desired by my regional government, of the Calabria Waste and Water Resources Authority (ArriCal) and the identification/entrustment of the integrated water service to the single manager for the entire Region, Sorical , in 2023: enabling and necessary conditions to be able to participate in the Pnrr tenders for the integrated water service.
Since I took office, structural initiatives have been added to the emergency activities for the summer seasons activated by the Department of the Environment and Territorial Protection to finally start the Calabria Region towards normality and to fill the infrastructural and governance gap of the integrated water service that we had towards of other realities”.
Thus Roberto Occhiuto, president of the Calabria Region.
