Fifty years: this is how long the state maritime concession requested by Terna for the construction of the Tyrrhenian Link, the 1000 MW submarine electric cable that will connect Sicily to Sardinia, should last.
This was made known by the Coast Guard of Cagliari, which published the notice necessary to present any objections to the issuing of the authorization provision: there are 20 days.
The energy giant Terna had filed the request on November 14, 2022. Last March 14, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport with a "dispatch" authorized the "Port Authority to proceed, for the territorial area of its competence , the preliminary investigation procedure and the publication of the application". The request also concerns a piece of the Quartese coast.
This procedure follows by a few days the one started by the same offices in Milazzo, also responsible for Fiumetorto, in Sicily, where the other end of the Tyrrhenian Link is expected to land, destined to reach as far as Torre Tuscia Magazzeno in Battipaglia, in Campania. A work on two sections, for a total of 970 kilometers and 1.9 billion euros of investment.
That cable is the cause of Sardinia's energy servitude, according to the increasingly numerous detractors , also gathered in a committee. The thesis is the following: that cable will be used to export the energy produced by the wind towers ready to invade Sardinia. In these days, and for months, seabed inspections have continued in the waters of Terra Mala, in Quartu. While in the countryside of Selargius the movements for the construction of the immense trading post are increasingly intense. Which will be built in an agricultural area. While the protest mounts.
The Harbor Office informs that the notice is published «only for oppositional purposes to safeguard maritime interests only, therefore it is hereby notified that once the aforementioned peremptory deadline has passed (20 days from publication) no complaints and/or briefs will be accepted and the action will be taken practice inherent to the requested concession. We inform you that, once the established deadline has passed, no complaints will be accepted and further investigative tasks aimed at issuing the maritime state concession will be carried out".
