The Legal Intervention Group (GrIG) has forwarded an intervention document as part of the environmental impact assessment procedure relating to the "Telti Plant" wind farm project by Enel Green Power srl in Gallura, in the municipal territories of Telti and Calangianus. A new project in an area where there are four others (Aggius-Viddalba, Buddusò, Tula) for 229 wind towers.
The “Telti Plant” includes 11 wind turbines with a maximum overall height of 240 m , for a maximum overall nominal power of 54 MW. Furthermore: electricity lines connecting to the national electricity grid, roads, a collection cabin, a new electricity station, excavations, roads, cable ducts in areas rich in waterways and Mediterranean scrub, as clearly indicated also by the regional landscape plan, as a highly visible forest of steel between the coast and the interior of Alta Gallura.
The wind farm would be built well within the buffer zone extending three kilometers from the limit of the protected areas with cultural or landscape restrictions, between nuraghi, dolmens and rural churches.
For this reason, the GrIG asked the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security to express a formal denial of the environmental compatibility of industrial plants and informed the Ministry of Culture, the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Cagliari and the Municipalities of Tempio Pausania and Aglientu.
«Being in favor of energy produced from renewable sources – writes the GrIG in a note – does not mean having dull blinders, it does not mean having poured one's brains into the mass of the vulgate of politically correct environmentalism. But it's not just the truly environmentalist associations and committees that support it."
The Special Superintendency for the PNRR «after in-depth assessments has highlighted clearly and clearly that "in the Sardinia region an overall action is underway for the construction of new plants from renewable sources (photovoltaic/agrivoltaic, onshore and offshore wind energy) such as to overcome already today by as many as 7 times what was expected as the objective to be achieved by 2030 on the basis of the FF55 , so much so that the substantial replacement of the cultural heritage and landscape with industrial-sized plants for the production of electricity beyond the expected regional needs is envisaged"".
«Other than the vain ethnic substitution of Lollobrigidiana memory - is the attack - here we are at the real landscape and cultural substitution, the economic-social substitution, the identity substitution . And this applies to the entire national territory. In Sardinia, the requests for connection of new plants presented to Terna spa as of 30 September 2023 were a total of 711, equal to 52.21 GW of power, divided into 446 requests for energy production plants from solar sources for 20.13 GW ( 38.55%), 236 requests for energy production systems from onshore wind sources for 15.23 GW (29.17%) and 29 requests for energy production systems from offshore wind sources for 16.85 GW (32.27 %). 52.21 GW means more than 27 times the plants currently existing in Sardinia , with a total power of 1.93 GW (the 1,926 existing MW, of which 1,054 MW of onshore wind energy + 872 of photovoltaic solar energy, Terna data, 2021)".
« An overdose of energy – they continue – which could not be consumed on the Island (which already today has around 38% more energy produced than its needs), could not be transported to the Peninsula (when the Thyrrenian Link the total power of the three cable ducts will be around 2 thousand MW), could not be conserved (to date the approved conservation plants are very few and of extremely limited power). It means energy that will have to be paid for by the sole manager of the grid (i.e. money that will come out of taxpayers' taxes). The only ones who will gain anyway will be the energy companies. In short, we are in an overdose of energy that can be produced by plants that only serve energy speculators."
«It would be a very different thing – the conclusion – if it were the State that planned the areas at sea and on land where the wind and photovoltaic systems would be installed based on real energy needs and, after involving the Regions and local authorities and carrying out the environmental assessment procedures strategy, put the sites out to tender to the best bidder for the construction, management and removal at the end of the life cycle of the energy production plants. We still have time to change the register. For the better, of course."
