The Piazza Armerina Solar Connection Project is a significant renewable energy initiative focused on integrating a new 1,850 kW solar power plant into the national electricity grid in Sicily, Italy. This project represents a strategic effort to expand clean energy infrastructure and support the country’s energy transition goals.
Key Project Data
- Project Title: Piazza Armerina Solar Connection Project
- Project Location: Strada Provinciale, 169, Piazza Armerina, Enna, Sicily, Italy
- Project Type: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant Connection
- Requested Power Output: 1,850 kW
- Nominal Power: 1,850 kW
- Grid Connection: Medium Voltage (MT)
- Technical Solution: The connection will be realized by constructing a new delivery cabin and connecting it to the existing medium voltage network. The work includes laying 1,450 meters of new overhead cable and 25 meters of underground cable.
- Estimated Cost of Connection: €122,383.62 (VAT included)
- Estimated Timeline: The estimated time for the grid operator to complete its portion of the work is 97 working days, subject to the standard terms and conditions of the connection contract.
Project Significance This project contributes to the growth of renewable energy generation in Italy. By connecting a substantial solar plant to the grid, it helps diversify energy sources and enhances the overall capacity for sustainable power production in the region. The project also highlights the complex logistical and technical requirements involved in integrating large-scale renewable energy systems into existing power distribution networks.
Partners The project is a collaboration between the plant owner (the producer) and the national grid operator, e-distribuzione S.p.A., which is responsible for executing the grid connection works and ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards.
