The Renewable Energy Community’s photovoltaic plant is located on the roofs of a disused company center in the village of Cegni. The installed panels can produce up to 200 KW (kilowatts) of energy, with the possibility of increasing up to 400 KW if demand grows. So far the community, called Staffora 1, has collected 100 signatures, i.e. contact points, and the energy produced is sufficient to supply 200 households.
MET Energia Italia was responsible for developing the project, building the plant and – in cooperation with local authorities – oversaw the authorization process.
“The energy community in the Staffora Valley represents a cutting-edge project with a high innovative value. We are proud that MET Energia Italia has promoted and overseen its implementation,” said Vito Carriero, CEO of MET Italia Energy Solutions. MET Italia's energy services company deals with energy efficiency, supporting firms and energy communities.
The CEO added, “Our goal is to help improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact in industrial and commercial sectors. While Staffora 1 is a significant achievement, we are already working on financing other photovoltaic systems on the roofs of our industrial partners, throughout Italy. This will also benefit citizens who decide to join the energy communities we promote.”
