Italy - Powered by Sun - Through Winter to Summer

Europe’s largest solar power plant will be built  in Italy. The power plant is expected to be completed by the end of the year in Rovigo, on an area as large as 120 soccer fields.










Once completed, the plant will cover 9.15 million square feet of area and will be able to produce 72MW of green electric power. It will also prevent 41,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere. Costing about $342 million, the solar plant will be operational by the end of this year.


To see Italy's film (The Mirror) for the Screen Green! film festival visit the Italian Cultural Institute on the 6th November at 6.30pm. The vent is free.
