(Telestock) – SEAthe management company of the Milan airports, and the A2A Groupthrough the Temporary Business Grouping with I exaggeratehave signed an agreement for the construction of a plant photovoltaic inside the airport of Milan Linate. This agreement further strengthens the partnership focused on the decarbonization of Milanese airports, launched in 2022 following the acquisition of SEA Energia by A2A.
The new project involves the construction, using cutting-edge technologies, of a ground-based system on mono-axial solar tracking structures with high-efficiency mono-crystalline, bi-facial and anti-reflective modules, capable of producing over 10 GWh of renewable energy per year. The infrastructure will be built on a grassy area of approximately 9 hectares in the north-west area of the airport and will be operational from 2025. The Temporary Consortium of Companies A2A – Esapro will provide the service conduction And maintenance for 9 years.
The plant represents another significant step towards the decarbonisation of consumption electric of the airport, which thanks to the production of green energy will be able to satisfy 20% of the annual needs of Linate airport. Furthermore, it will contribute substantially to the annual reduction of CO2 emissions, with a saving of approximately 5,000 tons per year, equivalent to the amount of CO2 captured by a coniferous forest covering an area of over 160 hectares.
This project further consolidates SEA’s commitment to the transition energeticfor a greener and more sustainable future, in line with the path undertaken some time ago to achieve zero emissions by 2030 and with the United Nations sustainable development goals.
With the construction of the new photovoltaic system of Linatethe A2A Group confirms its role among the main national players supporting the country’s decarbonization. The initiative is part of the vision outlined in the Company’s Industrial Plan to 2035, which includes targeted investments to accelerate the energy transition and promote the use of renewable sources.
