Tuscany’s oil is called geothermal energy. A resolution by the Giani council outlines the prospects for exploitation of the natural resource of which Tuscany is particularly rich. With attention to the territories that must receive adequate compensation for jobs and insurance on environmental sustainability.
“Geothermal energy is a clean resource to be valorised, it covers 34% of the energy needs of our region and gives Tuscany a position of excellence in the supply of renewable energy on a national scale” the governor Eugenio Giani has always reiterated, underlining the comparison with Enel ” tight and serious.” Of Enel Green Power’s 34 geothermal power plants, 16 are in the province of Pisa, 9 in the Siena area and 9 in the Grosseto area. The concessions owned by Enel Green Power expire at the end of 2026. The concessions can be renewed by the Regions for up to 20 years based on multi-year investment plans. Two new power plants are planned with a treasure to invest (several tens of millions of euros), but also the upgrading of existing power plants. The Enel plan provides for maximum attention to environmental sustainability and raising employment levels. The plan will be evaluated by an ad hoc team made up of Giani, two mayors of the geothermal lands and technicians from regional agencies.
