The implementation of the Just Transition Fund program is concretely underway, worth over 367 million euros for the Sulcis Plan .
With the latest resolution, the Council «took note of the JTF Italy Program 2021-2027 - Sulcis Plan and to allow a rapid start of the program - we read in a note -, it gave a mandate to the Crp to sign the deed of delegation of the functions as intermediate body with the agency for territorial cohesion".
The lines of development concern renewable energy, support for the creation of energy communities and the reclamation of old sites to be used for new activities . A project of strategic importance has also been identified in the program regarding the experimentation of the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source.
«The Just Transition Fund represents a unique transition opportunity, the best tool to accompany the transformation of a territory that has always been at the center of the attention of this Council - explained the President of the Region, Christian Solinas -. As a Region we have made an important effort to ensure that Sulcis is affected by this measure and now we continue to give substance to the Plan".
«The expenditure of the resources must be completed by 2026 and Sulcis will be able to count in a relatively short time on an important development and reconversion lever in line with the objectives linked to sustainability », added the Councilor for Planning Giuseppe Fasolino.
«Unions not involved»
But the CGIL is not on board: « There has been no discussion along the entire path of the program and at the moment we don't even know the detailed and complete contents of a 367 million plan », denounces the regional secretary Fausto Durante.
«We are part, together with the national trade union levels, of the Supervisory Committee of the JTF Italy Plan 2021-2027 and, on the basis of what is foreseen by the European Commission, we must be involved in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of the program», underlines the secretary, denouncing « the absolute extraordinary nature of what happened in Sardinia, where the president and the council once again show themselves to be refractory to union confrontation ».
«If this is the starting point we are off to a bad start - he concludes -. We now urgently await the official transmission of the Plan on which we can express an opinion on the merits."
