rMIX: Il Portale del Riciclo nell'Economia Circolare - Wind turbines: Increase their Height to Reduce the Number

How to increase the production of electricity by reducing the number of wind turbines on the territory.

The compelling the need to increase the production of energy from renewable sources has led to the development of many projects in the area in different fields: wind, solar, thermal, biomass, wave motion and other projects under study.

If on the one hand the population is well aware of the importance of using and, therefore, of producing clean energy, from an institutional and governmental point of view, bureaucracy it often puts new green projects in difficulty.

From the point of view of the production of wind energy in the area, the presence of the blades can create an environmental disturbance , as often they do not integrate optimally with the landscape, especially if in the presence of protected areas in artistic-artistic fields.

The industry is meeting these needs through the production of wind farms that count on a smaller number of blades per area considered, but with a greater height of the shaft which creates a greater extension of the rotation area.

A “repowering” project, for example, which is being carried out at ERG in Sardinia, in the municipalities of Nulvi and Ploaghe, with the aim of replacing the old blades with a series of plants whose height will increase from 76 to 180 meters, but their number would increase from 51 to 27, achieving, at the same time, a greater production of energy .

Despite the negative opinion with respect to the repowering project by the Region of Sardinia and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage , local authorities such as municipalities of the area are in favor of the project, as the company Erg will recognize a commission on the energy produced by the wind farm, thus helping them to support themselves financially in a period of reduction generalized monetary flows to municipalities.

The union FilctemCgil is also in favor of the project as it would allow you to maintain employment in an area where finding work is complicated Furthermore, it is not clear how a project to replace blades can be blocked in an area where they already existed and above all by reducing their number.

For once the Nimby syndrome , not in my garden, for once it doesn't matter.
