The Port System Authority of the Central Adriatic Sea Northern said it had received from the Ministry Environment and Energy Security: communication of the funds of €10.4 million for the implementation of the of the photovoltaic system designed by the port authority of Ravenna. The plant is intended to be built on an area of more than 25 hectares in the former Sarom area located on the Candiano Canal along Via Trieste, a disused industrial area, once occupied by a refinery and now reclaimed and converted to the production of green energy for the port.

The project "Zero emissions: development of a platform for the self-production of energy in the port from solar sources" of the PSA, which is worth more than €26 million, was deemed to be worthy of funding as part of the NRRP interventions Green Ports - "Renewable energy and efficiency interventions energy in ports".

The project, which was created to satisfy the needs of renewable energy sources, the energy needs of port companies, provides that the plant also produces green energy for the Terminal's quays Passengers of Porto Corsini, i.e. for the power supply cruise ships, with a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and noise pollution from engines endothermic.

In the overall management of the plant, the energy produced, approximately 20 MW, will first be transferred to the Community Port Energy Authority, which will redistribute it to the prioritising public services, including the More important will be the cold ironing plant under construction at the Cruise Terminal.
