Impact on local communities

This plant is of particular importance because it is the first Enel Green Power plant to use a screw turbine, in addition to being one of the largest plants in the Emilia Romagna region. The screw turbine is an evolution of the Archimedes screw, which was invented in the third century BC: it’s an ancient type of technology that is now leading us toward a decarbonized future. Although small in size, this plant manages to harness the power of the water released by the Strettara plant, thereby optimizing the use of the flow of water before it is returned to the Scoltenna River.
