No to an expanse of photovoltaic systems in the abandoned areas of the Porto Torres industrial area, spaces that fall within the perimeter of the Special Economic Zones. The sentence of the Council of State rejects the appeal, presented on appeal by Vianini Spa and Energia Spa, companies that had challenged the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Provincial Industrial Consortium of Sassari in which precise limits were established on the usability of those areas, considering that further surfaces, considered necessary for the insertion of new activities aimed at the development planned by Cipss and aimed at generating new employment, could not be involved. Vianini intended to build a photovoltaic plant with a power of 3.50 MW in an area of 5 hectares of its property, in which there was the production plant for concrete products, which had been abandoned for about 17 years. In particular, the Board of Directors has established the usability of a maximum of 15 percent of the total surfaces (347 hectares), with the possibility of extension by way of derogation up to a maximum of 20 percent (460 hectares) of the total industrial areas (therefore a maximum of 35 %). The Council of State decreed the nullity and groundlessness of this appeal. "This sentence - says Valerio Scanu, president of Cipss - reaffirms the linearity of the strategic and planning choices of the industrial consortium that make the increase and modernization of the consortium system a priority and above all initiatives capable of generating economic development and new employment". In the specific case, an area of absolute strategic value, also from a Zes development perspective, “would have been transformed for thirty years into five hectares of photovoltaic panels, without leaving any added value to the territory” adds Scanu. "The Consortium's objective - he concludes - was strengthened precisely by the resolution of 2020 which governs the installation of photovoltaic systems to encourage the creation of a hydrogen district."
