The Region has authorized the construction of the plant close to the Tower. There is also a dog walking area and charging points for electric bikes
UDINE. The Region has given the green light to the construction of the photovoltaic park in the area of the former Ifim landfill. «The process was quite long – says the president of Ifim, Raffaella Midolini – but now we can finally complete it. On Monday we will decide whether to start the work immediately or whether to ask the GSE for a contribution, which would force us to wait a little longer, but the important thing was to receive the single authorization from the Region ». Authorization that actually turns on the green light on the agreement signed with the Municipality of Udine by the Midolini group and Ifim.
“The agreement – explains Midolini – provides for our commitment to create an area equipped for recharging electric bikes, an area for dog walking and lighting the area where the park will be built to allow those runs or walks to be able to frequent the area even in the evening ».
The photovoltaic system will have a power of 3,000 Kwp (the kilowatt peak is a unit of measurement of the maximum theoretical power that can be produced by an electric generator) which correspond to the annual needs of approximately 3,000 households. But the whole project is much broader and involves the redevelopment of the entire Ifim owned area in San Gottardo which is spread over about 40 hectares of land.
The operation will be carried out in several steps. Eternity will be removed from the roofs of existing buildings within the area and subsequently, approximately within the year, there will be the opening within the area of two equipped green areas, one to the north and one to the south, which will mark made the two entrances to the park and in which, says Carlo Stragapede, curator of the Midolini prize, “the works made with recycled material by ten street artists of our territory were installed, in memory of Lino Midolini, patron and art expert especially Friulian ».
The photovoltaic system, on the other hand, will be built in the area of the former municipal solid waste landfill, with the positioning of columns for recharging electric bicycles and the construction of a closed-circuit geothermal system (low enthalpy geothermal) for the production of thermal energy, which will be buried in the reservoir currently present in the area (former aggregate quarry), without the need to carry out further excavations.
The initiative did not convince the leader of the Innovare project, Federico Pirone, who had submitted a question to find out if the administration was careful to ascertain whether “the area subject to this intervention, as a former landfill, has all the possible safeties from a hydraulic point of view and what types of checks have been carried out “. All checks carried out by the Region, as the Councilor for Planning, Giulia Manzan, had specified, for which, in the light of the green light, evidently no critical issues emerged.
