Wind power is a business that many people are craving. 2024 was an annus horribilis in terms of requests for intervention, even with projects for entire wind farms with blades over two hundred meters high. As of December 31 of the year that just went to the attic, 767 practices were pending. Of these 498 in solar, 239 in on-shore wind, 30 in off-shore wind. Overall, energy production is 52.28 GW, enough to supply 50 million inhabitants.

In the Cagliari area, there were pending requests for 4.64 GW in the Cagliari area, 17.64 GW in Southern Sardinia, 21.85 GW in the Sassari area, 3.67 in the Nuoro area, 4.48 in the Oristano area . And, after consulting Terna's digital dashboard, which keeps the map of requests for connections of blades and panels to electrical transmission updated, another huge disproportion between Sardinia and Italy emerges. Terna itself recalls that by 2030 it will be necessary to install on a national scale approximately 70 GW of new renewable capacity (compared to that installed on 31 December 2019) to cover at least 65% of electricity consumption with energy produced by these clean energy sources (the so-called FER, from the acronym for renewable energy sources).

On the Island, as of December 31, there are pending projects for 52.28 GW. Where is the short circuit? Silence.
