00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.800 position:25% size:50%
The “Giro dell’acqua”

2
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:15.440 position:25% size:50%
Today the three influencers that came here

3
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:18.240 position:25% size:50%
had a chance to see from above in a helicopter

4
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.640 position:25% size:50%
all of the outlets that feed the Dossi power station

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.480 position:25% size:50%
and the two dams of Barbellino and Valmorta.

6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.880 position:25% size:50%
They had a guided tour of the power plant and the dam,

7
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.040 position:25% size:50%
and they even saw a few Alpine chamois

8
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.240 position:25% size:50%
and enjoyed the natural beauty
that makes this place so special.

9
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:37.800 position:25% size:50%
The thing that struck me most

10
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:39.360 position:25% size:50%
on the helicopter ride today

11
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.960 position:25% size:50%
was being able to see all the streams, the waterfalls

12
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.200 position:25% size:50%
and the watercourses.

13
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:49.080 position:25% size:50%
It was amazing, so thrilling

14
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.520 position:25% size:50%
the landscape was magnificent.

15
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:54.760 position:25% size:50%
We’re at the Barbellino dam.

16
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:56.880 position:25% size:50%
From here the water follows its course,

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.560 position:25% size:50%
arriving and converging

18
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.080 position:25% size:50%
at the Dossi power plant,

19
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:02.840 position:25% size:50%
where it generates electricity.

20
00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:06.720 position:25% size:50%
It’s amazing to see how energy is really produced.

21
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.160 position:25% size:50%
This place is so beautiful

22
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.080 position:25% size:50%
and the thing that I always really like

23
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:15.800 position:25% size:50%
is meeting the people that work at the plants

24
00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:17.640 position:25% size:50%
and hearing their stories.

25
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.320 position:25% size:50%
That’s really the thing I’ll take away from this experience.

26
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:30.080 position:25% size:50%
Cycling, hydroelectric energy and
sustainability have a lot in common

27
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:33.600 position:25% size:50%
but there’s one thing in particular
that stands out, and that’s nature.

28
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.840 position:25% size:50%
Cycling is sustainable precisely because you can get around

29
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.000 position:25% size:50%
without consuming any resources at all.

30
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.160 position:25% size:50%
In terms of hydroelectric energy,

31
00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:48.360 position:25% size:50%
today I learned that sustainability

32
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:51.080 position:25% size:50%
is environmental, but also social and economic.

33
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.400 position:25% size:50%
These plants, besides just making renewable energy

34
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.280 position:25% size:50%
there’s actually this whole aspect of sustainability

35
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.960 position:25% size:50%
that Enel Green Power pays attention to.

36
00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:03.160 position:25% size:50%
I mean, without that, it would just be renewable energy.

37
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:07.880 position:25% size:50%
A cornerstone of the Sustainable Plant Model

38
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:09.960 position:25% size:50%
is to try to create value for the local area.

39
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.280 position:25% size:50%
Hydroelectric power has huge potential in terms of tourism.

40
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.040 position:25% size:50%
We’re testing a model in which we combine

41
00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:20.440 position:25% size:50%
our power plants with sustainable tourism,

42
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:23.480 position:25% size:50%
a niche tourism that respects the environment.

43
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.560 position:25% size:50%
In our mission, we talk about providing energy

44
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.000 position:25% size:50%
for a better future and sustainable progress

45
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.200 position:25% size:50%
and on this front, hydroelectric power is essential.

46
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:37.720 position:25% size:50%
From a quantitative point of view,

47
00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.520 position:25% size:50%
using water for hydroelectric

48
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.400 position:25% size:50%
is compatible with other uses

49
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.800 position:25% size:50%
like irrigation, drinking water, industry,

50
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.480 position:25% size:50%
but also quality energy production.

51
00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:52.440 position:25% size:50%
Because the ability to schedule production,

52
00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:55.720 position:25% size:50%
thanks to the energy stored in
reservoirs, enables us to regulate supply

53
00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:57.800 position:25% size:50%
and provide security for the electricity system.

54
00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:03.120 position:25% size:50%
The word that I’ll take home today

55
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.520 position:25% size:50%
from the Giro dell’Acqua is “flow”

56
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.720 position:25% size:50%
because the flow of water is life.

57
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:11.960 position:25% size:50%
Adrenaline!

58
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.600 position:25% size:50%
It was an amazing experience!
