pipeline to connect it to the national networks.<br />
The construction work, which took about 24<br />
months to complete, was carried out by Ansaldo<br />
Energia. Over 800 people and around 30 companies<br />
took part in the construction of the plant at<br />
peak times, more than half of them from the area<br />
around Lodi. Although it is highly automated, today<br />
the plant provides work for some 50 people between<br />
employees and the network of suppliers.<br />
“This important investment – commented<br />
Rodolfo De Benedetti, Chief Executive of CIR and<br />
Chairman of Sorgenia – confirms the commitment<br />
of Sorgenia and its shareholders to developing<br />
the company even in this difficult period<br />
for the economy and for the Italian energy market.”<br />
“The new power plant – said Massimo Orlandi,<br />
Chief Executive of Sorgenia – contributes to making<br />
our power generating facilities among the<br />
most modern and efficient in Italy, giving Sorgenia<br />
an important competitive advantage. We are<br />
convinced that the combination of combined cycle<br />
gas turbine plants and renewable sources is<br />
the most suitable generating mix for the future<br />
energy system of our country.”<br />
“Together with Sorgenia, we have put a lot of<br />
thought into this plant - said Giuseppe Zampini,<br />
Chief Executive of Ansaldo Energia - and we have<br />
put even more effort into its construction. The<br />
messages of congratulations we have received today<br />
cannot help but make us proud of this Italian<br />
ciclo combinato alimentate a gas naturale e<br />
fonti rinnovabili sia il mix di generazione più<br />
adatto per il futuro sistema energetico del<br />
nostro paese”.<br />
“Insieme a Sorgenia abbiamo pensato bene<br />
questo impianto – ha raccontato Giuseppe<br />
Zampini, Amministratore Delegato Ansaldo<br />
Energia – e lo abbiamo realizzato ancora<br />
meglio. Gli attestati di stima ricevuti in questa<br />
giornata non possono che renderci<br />
orgogliosi di questo progetto italiano e tecnologicamente<br />
all’avanguardia”.<br />
“Una centrale – ha spiegato Corrado Clini,<br />
Ministro dell’Ambiente – che è nella prospettiva<br />
della strategia europea per la riduzione<br />
dell’intensità di carbonio e l’aumento della<br />
competitività”.<br />
La centrale di Bertonico-Turano Lodigiano,<br />
realizzata interamente da aziende italiane, è<br />
dotata delle più moderne tecnologie di produzione<br />
termoelettrica in termini di<br />
rendimento, compatibilità ambientale e sicurezza.<br />
Il rendimento medio, ovvero il tasso di<br />
conversione dell’energia chimica del combustibile<br />
in energia elettrica, è superiore al 57%<br />
rispetto a circa il 40% del termoelettrico tradizionale,<br />
mentre le emissioni di anidride<br />
carbonica e ossido di azoto sono inferiori<br />
rispettivamente di circa il 30% e il 70%. La<br />
società, inoltre, si è impegnata a ridurre<br />
rispetto ai valori autorizzati le emissioni di<br />
ossido di azoto di un ulteriore 15%, le emissioni<br />
di monossido di carbonio del 90% e il<br />
prelievo idrico del 70%. Sorgenia ha fornito<br />
un sistema di monitoraggio della qualità dell’aria<br />
nelle zone limitrofe alla centrale che<br />
viene gestito dall’Agenzia Regionale per la<br />
Protezione dell’Ambiente (Arpa). La società<br />
ha anche avviato un monitoraggio acustico<br />
della zona.<br />
Anche grazie alla nuova centrale di Bertonico-Turano<br />
Lodigiano, nel 2011 gli impianti a<br />
project and its leading edge technology.”<br />
“It is a power station - explained Italian Environment<br />
Minister Corrado Clini - that is aligned with<br />
the European strategy to reduce coal intensity<br />
and increase competitiveness.”<br />
The Bertonico-Turano Lodigiano power plant,<br />
built entirely by Italian companies, is equipped<br />
with the most modern thermoelectric power production<br />
technologies in terms of performance, environmental<br />
compatibility and safety. The average<br />
yield, or the rate of conversion of the chemical energy<br />
in the fuel into electricity, is over 57%, compared<br />
to around 40% for traditional thermoelectric<br />
plants, while carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide<br />
emissions are 30% and 70% lower respectively. The<br />
company has also undertaken to reduce nitrogen<br />
oxide emissions by a further 15% and carbon<br />
monoxide emissions by 90% compared to the authorized<br />
limits and the amount of water used by<br />
70%. Sorgenia has supplied a system to monitor the<br />
air quality in the areas bordering on the power<br />
plant, which is managed by the Regional Agency<br />
for the Environment (Arpa). The company has also
