Italian energy giant Enel has landed
three contracts under the EU-funded post-COVID National Recovery
and Resilience Plan (NRRP) to produce green hydrogen as part of
the plan that aims to make the Italian economy greener and more
modern, the electrical power giant's Italy director told ANSA
Friday.
The NRRP funds that Enel has won by submitting various projects,
mainly in the 'Green Revolution and Ecological Transition' (M2)
mission, amount to almost EUR 4 billlion, said Enel's Italy
director Nicola Lanzetta, speaking to ANSA, assuring that the
projects were on schedule.
In particular, the projects include investments on distribution
networks with a smart grids perspective, the expansion of the
3Sun photovoltaic panel factory in Catania, the development of
plants for the production of green hydrogen and the improvement
of the water infrastructure of the Pozzillo dam (Enna).
Enel has been awarded NRRP funds totalling around 38 million
euro in the regions of Puglia, Calabria and Liguria for projects
on the production of green hydrogen in disused industrial areas,
according to the announcement made by the three regions between
30 and 31 March, Lanzetta told ANSA, explaining that the
projects will make it possible to valorise areas where there are
disused thermoelectric power plants: the one in Rossano
(Calabria), the Federico II plant in Brindisi and the Eugenio
Montale plant in La Spezia.
In each tender, Enel was awarded first place in the merit list.
