The Reschigliano Landfill in Campodarsego: A Proposal for an Innovative Photovoltaic Park - Investigating Opportunities for Optimizing Electricity Generation and Developing a Renewable Energy Community

In the context of sustainable development and a global society increasingly concerned with environmental conservation, social development and economic progress, Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) are gaining momentum. These communities ensure the dissemination of renewable energy, the promotion of energy efficiency, consumer involvement and the efficiency of the electricity market. In the area crossed by the Brenta River, which runs through Trentino and Veneto, ETRA's role is becoming increasingly important. ETRA is a publicly held ESCO and this year became a Benefit Corporation. Its goal is to work alongside the 70 cities it serves and to actively support the facilities dedicated to the services it provides. The large enterprise is studying the Campodarsego landfill area as a potential site to devote to energy production. The best configuration for the installation of one or more solar plants of various sizes and powers is evaluated after the stability and safety of the site has been verified. Considerations and choices are closely related to European and National standards, incentives available for improvement, sale of any excess energy produced, and, in particular, incentives established by the CACER and TIAD Decree. The environmental and financial feasibility of the suggested configuration possibilities is evaluated using a variable number of crystalline silicon panels depending on the size and consequent power output of the system.
