Incomplete. Confused. At times incoherent. Incongruent. These are recurring terms in the opinions that the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security used to reject the project for the maxi photovoltaic park in Serra Taccori , in the countryside of Uta : on November 6, the decree was filed that says no to the Environmental Impact Assessment for over 130 thousand silicon panels that the company Diomede Srl of Rome wanted to place on over 40 hectares of land.

The objections raised about the plant were serious, about the risks for the landscape, but also about the cumulative impact: not far away, again in Uta, there is another immense expanse of panels. And the opinion of the ministerial technicians also looked at those: too many, Sardinia risks an invasion .

The ministerial procedure went on for two years: the company had submitted the application on October 10, 2022. Initially, the park should have had even more impact than the one that was rejected: the overall planned extension was 2,207,790 square meters. But after reading the first documents, a long series of contrary opinions rained down, even from various offices of the Region. But even the new numbers were still gigantic, with a surface area of 41.09 hectares covered with 130,480 monocrystalline silicon modules, to reach a peak power of 92.6 MWp to be connected to the national electricity grid. The plans also included the construction of a storage station - to be built also with lithium batteries - whose decommissioning was planned after 20 years of activity. There was also the possibility of continuing to cultivate under the panels. But Mase said no.
