Wind energy, the committees: «The meeting with Todde was good, but the 6.2 Gw are a handicap for the island: everyone in Saccargia»

The meeting with the President of the Region Alessandra Todde was good, but the committees against energy speculation in Sardinia remain of the opinion that «the minimum ceiling of 6.2 gigawatts established in the agreement with the Ministry is a disadvantageous, unfair starting point, a real handicap for the Island which risks weighing on all future steps."

For this reason, explained Luigi Pisci, one of the spokespersons at the end of the meeting, «we call all the Sardinian people, the political forces, the world of associations, the local institutions and the mayors, the trade organizations to converge in Saccargia on 15 June to demonstrate with democratic evidence that the Sardinian people are united against energy speculation, do not intend to sell off their territory and their identity and ask all national and regional institutions for the necessary measures to bring them back into the realm of democracy, sharing and compatibility with the profound vocations of the Island, an energy and ecological transition that must be just, fair, micro-impacting and widespread".

Pisci clarified that «the coordination after the meeting with Todde maintains a position of proactive caution and active mobilization. We appreciated the openness, availability and relaxed atmosphere, however many issues remain open that the territories experience with apprehension . The regulatory measures to prevent the disfigurement of Barumini and Saccargia remain uncertain, the extent of the offshore activity is unknown and the issue of the Tyrrhenian link is very delicate. However, the framework of the chain of regulatory measures that the institutions will want to implement to arrive at a new landscape and energy plan appears clearer, but the contents of these measures are not clear. This is why we asked the president for an open monitoring table with the aim of meeting before every fundamental junction of the decision-making process."

For her part, the governor declared that she believes that "even the committees have understood that they are dealing with an administration that deeply shares their requests". Of the 6.2 gigawatts, too many for the committees, Todde recalled that on the island there are two coal-fired power plants " that no one talks about and we have to replace that energy produced from fossil fuels with that from renewable sources".
