A firm "no" to the project proposal for a new wind farm in compliance with the protection of the landscape, environmental and historical values of the area .
This is what the Municipality of Solarussa ordered in the municipal council convened to discuss the project presented by the company Sorgenia Renewable srl of Milan .
Solarussa's position comes two days after the meeting on the subject with the mayors of Seneghe, Narbolia, San Vero Milis, Zeddiani and Siamaggiore , from whom similar indications are expected in the near future.
The civic assembly repeatedly stressed the clear opposition to the project proposal , while sharing the need to accelerate the transition process from fossil fuels to renewable sources, an objective to be achieved however through the participation and active involvement of the communities and others, as in specific case, «through impositions and projects that are lowered from above without the slightest consultation and involvement of the local communities».
DOUBLE PROJECT – Going into specifics, Mayor Mario Tendas highlighted that no installation of wind turbines is planned in the municipality of Solarussa. However, the municipal area is involved in two wind projects, both presented by the Sorgenia Renewable srl company .
The first project involves the installation of nine wind turbines (125 meters high and with a rotor diameter of 170 meters) in the municipalities of Seneghe and Narbolia. The energy produced by the nine wind turbines should then be fed into the National Transmission Grid passing through the municipalities of San Vero Milis, Zeddiani, Siamaggiore and, finally, right at Solarussa where an accumulation point should be located and built.
A very similar project, with the installation of another nine wind turbines , also proposed by the Sorgenia Renewable srl company, is planned in the . Also in this case the energy produced should be fed into the grid passing through Tramatza and arriving at the storage center located in the municipality of Solarussa. In practice, the municipality is directly involved in both projects.
