Impact on local communities
This plant is the largest of the power plants designed by Portaluppi in Ossola and is the last one built by the famous architect in the area. The Cadarese Premia plant, like the other plants in the area, is not only perfectly integrated into the landscape but is an iconic structure, a destination for photographers and enthusiasts of industrial architecture. As part of the enhancement of the area's assets, we are developing a sustainable tourism project in the Ossola Valley: we’re opening the facilities to the public, installing artistic lighting systems and developing sustainable mobility.
