Renewables, 300 requests for plants stopped in Sardinia


In Sardinia, the charge for renewables is 300. These are requests presented by energy companies both to the Region and to the ministry for the installation or construction of plants for the production of energy from renewable sources. The figure was underlined by the Councilor for the Environment Marco Porcu who, with his colleague from Industry Anita Pili, participated in the session of the Productive Activities commission, which met precisely to address the issue linked to the problems associated with the numerous requests to Institutions for the construction of wind farms in areas of particular value or cultural significance.

Identification of suitable areas

«About 30 or 40 arrive a week - said the councilor - on these projects the Region can only express a non-binding opinion. This provides for the Draghi Decree. The Giunta wants to prevent these plants from causing damage to the environment. We need to clarify by involving the municipalities in whose territories the interventions fall. Now there is a lot of confusion, it would be necessary to understand, first of all, what is the requirement assigned to Sardinia for the production of energy and on the basis of that think about planning with the identification of suitable areas".

In mid-June, document at the State-Regions Conference

Also on the same wavelength was the head of the Department of Defense for the Environment who remarked on the "no to a top-down procedure": "We are ready to give our contribution to the energy transition but this cannot be done without taking local realities into account,” he added. «Now, finally, we have news of a draft which in mid-June will be delivered by the Ministry to the State-Regions Conference. On the basis of that document, a complete reasoning can be made ».

The opposition of the municipalities

The municipal administrations of various centers demonstrated against the construction of new wind farms and even recently announced protests and mobilizations. One of the latest protest initiatives concerns the project for the construction of a park in the territories of Barumini, Escolca, Gergei, Las Plassas and Villanovafranca. A few months ago similar protests were also registered for the Gomoretta project against which both the Region and the local communities took sides. The legal intervention group also leads a series of initiatives
