On the island of Giannutri, thanks to a memorandum of understanding with Terna Plus, SIE Srl (a company that produces and distributes energy in the Giglio) and the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, a photovoltaic shelter of about 60 kW, with its 140 kWh storage system and advanced control system capable of managing the energy flows from the plant. The photovoltaic system, built in an area overlooking the current power plant of the island of Giannutri, allows to cover, with renewable energy, up to 30% of the annual consumption of the island, and to provide 100% of the requirement during the day (from 6 to 20) for long periods of the year (from September to June). The plant, also equipped with an innovative anti-glare system to ensure compatibility with the nearby heliport, is municipal property and was built on a redeveloped area already used for waste collection.
On the other hand, a 1.343 kW photovoltaic plant is being designed in the area of the former Le Porte landfill, on the island of Giglio, which will allow the production of 1.800 MWh / year. The project, which is part of the Ministerial Decree of 14 February 2017 for the incentive for renewable energy in the smaller Italian islands not interconnected to the national electricity grid, will avoid the emission of up to 11.000 tons of CO into the atmosphere2 over its lifetime (equal to approximately 4.000.000 liters of diesel) while guaranteeing coverage of up to 20% of the island's annual consumption.
