The ministry blocks two projects for two agrivoltaic plants in Sardinia. One, Palmadula Solar, is the largest ever proposed in Italy in terms of power and size .
We are talking about a plant with a power of 360 MW and a storage system with a capacity of 82.5 MWh, an infrastructure that would have occupied more than 1,043 hectares of land in the Municipality of Sassari .
The National Commission for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), with the contribution of the Region, expressed a negative opinion.
The area concerned includes territories that are fundamental for the conservation of protected species and for the maintenance of ecosystem balance. The project, it is explained, would have caused the subtraction of natural habitats from some species and transformed the territory from agricultural to infrastructured, irreversibly altering an area of natural and cultural value such as Nurra .
In the same meeting , another agrivoltaic plant, called Guspini, proposed in an area of about 80 hectares in the territory of Guspini and for a power of 64.40 MW, was rejected . Here too, the incompatibility of the project with areas of natural and cultural value was underlined, as well as the risk of an alteration of the rural landscape and of irreversible impacts on protected areas and sites of high ecological value.
