The Pope has given full authority to two special Commissioners to supervise the plant’s construction, ensuring that the project is carried out efficiently and effectively. The energy generated by this solar plant will cover all the Vatican’s energy needs, eliminating dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
The implementation of a solar plant not only improves the Vatican’s environmental sustainability, but also offers economic and social benefits. By generating its own energy, the Vatican can save on light. This is especially relevant in a context where the price of light is a constant worry for many.
Pope Francis’ decision to construct a solar plant on the outskirts of Rome is a tangible manifestation of his commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change. Not only will this initiative provide renewable energy to the Vatican, but it will also establish a standard for other institutions around the world.
By generating its own energy, the Vatican can save on light. This is especially relevant in a context where the price of light is a constant worry for many. The use of solar energy also improves the State’s energy efficiency, enabling a more responsible and sustainable light consumption.
The plant will be located in Santa Maria di Galeria, some 11 kilometers from Rome, where Vatican Radio’s broadcasting station is located. Not only will this project generate renewable electricity, but it will also be integrated with the land’s agricultural needs, combining modern technology with sustainable practices.
Solar energy plays an essential role in Pope Francis’ strategy to address climate change. Since his 2015 encyclical “Laudato Si’,” the Pope has been a firm defender of climate action and repeatedly appealed to the international community to take swifter and more decisive measures. agosto 14, 2024 08:26 ZENIT Staff Pope Francis, Vatican City
