The dam, 140 meters in length, would provide 8.5 billion kilowat year and would give a decisive contribution of 17%, the national energy requirements. Depending on the rainfall in the hydro-electric power, today, covers between 12 and 14 percent of Italian consumers.
The League says no then. The reason: the directors consider that in the Valtellina area there are already too many electrical systems and so there is no need to build more.
The plant would be located in fact at the border with Switzerland, not visible from Livigno, in practice the project will raddioppiare a plant pre-existing structures with twins, a new reservoir and another reservoir. The pumping station would be very powerful, 500-megawat, to bring the water used at high altitude.
Minister Scajola, production activities, has not said yes to the proposers (Enel, Edison, the Atel Austrian, Swiss, and EKW Lombard A2A). Work cost: € 1.6 billion. Self-financed. Timing: from 6 to 8 years. Unless the league say yes.
The article appeared in the newspaper Libero of the new director Maurizio Belpietro non-specific environmental impact in that operation.
state the reasons Company principals: lower CO2 emissions of 4.5 billion tons compared with the same production of the most polluting energy sources such as coal or natural gas, increase water resources as the new system to channel water to the basin of 'South with a capacity of 50 cubic meters per second.
