Jannik Hoffman probably doesn't even know where Pabillonis is. He, Chief Financial Officer of Pacifico Energy Partners , a German multinational with the "bad habit" of expanding into foreign countries, has always frequented the upper echelons of high finance, starting with the "forbidden" ones of Goldman Sachs, the second largest investment bank in the world by turnover. Imagine if he has ever planted olive trees or laid out flowery meadows for bees destined to feast in the shade of Chinese silicon between agrivoltaic panels almost three meters high.
A German in Pabillonis
And yet, this gentleman, a German from Munich, has been the owner of a project for a few days, just approved by the Ministry of the Environment, to build a field of panels whose surface is larger than the entire town of Pabillonis. Eighty hectares in total, a plan of 86,000 panels, placed 2.80 meters from the ground, to create an agrivoltaic system where, according to what they declare, they will plant 100,000 olive trees. The story is a fairy tale, as befits those who have to make money in Sardinian land.
Trained bees
If you believe what they say, you will find yourself in a moment immersed in wonderland: a “super-intensive” olive grove complete with circling bees, probably “trained” in the torrid heat of Chinese panels, immersed in expanses of lush flower fields to produce rivers of “multi-flower” honey. All written and approved: a real license to “kill” a territory, as the Special Superintendency for the PNRR writes without preamble. A lightning-fast opinion, ignored by the Technical Commission, even evaded in the decree with which the resigning Director General of Environmental Assessments in recent days definitively approved the project of “Pacifico Lapislazzuli srl”, the company fiscally registered in Bolzano, linked with resources and managers to Pacifico Energy Partners of Munich, which aims to build the mega agrivoltaic esplanade on Sardinian soil.
The German Fairy Tale
The name of the project says it all: «Photovoltaic power plant “ ”», power 52 megawatts, to be built with monocrystalline modules on single-axis trackers, which means we capture the sun from dawn to dusk. The “fairytale” plan of the Germans of Pabillonis leaves nothing to chance: « ». In short, with the sound of little flowers and olive trees in a hedge, the German colonizers have convinced the National Commission of the “agro-beekeeping” spirit of the enterprise that declares an investment of almost 40 million euros, most of it to place the Chinese panels, those of . That solar grid, suspended and rotating, placed on an expanse of 80 hectares, almost three meters above ground level, does not seem to exist for them: " ". In short, the olive trees will always be lower than the solar panels. The solar oil even goes so far as to summarize: " . Don't imagine a lot of work, there will be no room for anyone here, and they write: "the entirely mechanized processing minimizes the interactions between men and the electrical system in operation". Imagine the resulting economic devastation, an electrical competition that risks putting all the olive-growing companies in the area out of business, which certainly will not benefit from the electricity incentives granted in favor of "German" oil in Sardinia. The damage, however, will be even more serious for the landscape and the environment as a whole. The Special Superintendent of the PNRR writes it clearly: « ».
