TIM partners with Enel X to develop a solar plant in Italy

Telecom Italia and Enel X signed a partnership on Monday to develop a solar plant in central Italy, allowing TIM to produce renewable energy and cut its CO2 emissions.

The plant will be installed at the former phone monopoly’s ‘La Figuretta” site in the Tuscan city of Pisa and will be managed by the specialist Enel ENEI.MI division focused on energy efficiency.

It will produce over 1.63 GWH per year, saving about 740,000 kilos of CO2 every year, TIM said in a statement, adding the renewable energy produced will be equivalent to that required to power a village of around 600 households.

The two companies aim to extend their partnership to other plants that Italy’s biggest phone group is planning to develop, TIM added.

Under its energy strategy, TIM aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. Reuters
