CEDEGOLO — 130 MW Hydroelectric

CEDEGOLO is notable for being the 170th largest power generation facility in Italy, a country with a total of 542 plants and a dominant energy profile primarily based on gas. With a capacity of 130 MW, CEDEGOLO accounts for a mere 0.10% of Italy’s total capacity of 131,053 MW. This hydroelectric power station is part of a remarkable cluster of hydro plants in the region, surrounded by larger facilities like the Edolo Pumped Storage Plant and EDOLO, both offering substantial capacities of 950 MW. Other nearby hydro plants such as GROSIO (655 MW) and S.FIORANO (544 MW) further emphasize the area’s hydroelectric potential. CEDEGOLO ranks as the 45th largest hydro plant among 107 in Italy, showcasing the significant yet competitive role of hydroelectricity within the country’s energy strategy. The reliance on hydro power in this region contributes to Italy’s broader efforts to diversify its energy mix while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Owned and operated by an undisclosed entity, CEDEGOLO plays a vital role in harnessing the power of flowing water, which is critical for balancing supply and demand within the local grid. As Italy continues to seek renewable energy solutions, CEDEGOLO’s contribution will be essential in meeting both national and regional energy goals, especially in the context of increasing environmental awareness and the push towards cleaner energy solutions.
