Enel SpA said Thursday that it has received the green light for
the early closure of a thermal power plant's unit in southern Italy
starting from January 1, 2021.
The Rome-base energy company said unit 2 of the Federico II
plant in Brindisi, Apulia, is the first of four coal-fired
production units that are set to be permanently closed.
In line with its decarburization plans, the company added it has
recently started the authorization process to convert the site into
a high efficiency gas-fired plant.
"This process is necessary to ensure the complete closure of the
Brindisi coal plant by 2025, while also guaranteeing the security
of the national electricity grid," Enel said.
