About this plant

In the energy-rich landscape of Italy, the ROSONE hydroelectric power generation facility stands out with its 135 MW capacity, ranking as the 168th largest among 542 plants across the country. This hydro facility ranks 44th among Italy’s 107 hydro plants, contributing a modest 0.10% to Italy’s total capacity of 131,053 MW. While Italy’s energy profile is characterized by a significant reliance on natural gas, ROSONE plays a vital role in the regional energy context by providing clean, renewable energy. The facility is strategically located within proximity to several other power plants, including the Leini power plant (385 MW) and the VENAUS hydro facility (230 MW), which together create a diverse energy cluster. This geographical closeness allows for enhanced grid stability and flexibility, ensuring that the energy demands of the region are met effectively. Commissioned years ago, ROSONE has been a reliable source of hydroelectric power, showcasing Italy’s long-standing commitment to utilizing its water resources for sustainable energy generation. The Italian government continues to prioritize renewable energy sources, and facilities like ROSONE are crucial in achieving national targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The plant’s operation not only contributes to the energy supply but also supports local economic activities by providing jobs and fostering community development. As Italy marches towards a greener future, the significance of hydroelectric power will only increase, with ROSONE positioned to play a key role in this transition. With the ongoing advancements in turbine technology and the increasing importance of energy efficiency, ROSONE exemplifies how hydroelectric facilities can adapt and thrive within an evolving energy landscape, paving the way for a sustainable and economically vibrant future.
