"photovoltaic park in Porto Torres. The plant has a capacity of 31 MW. The plant is expected to generate 50 GWh of power every year, of which about 70% is for self-consumption by users connected to Versalis's network. The municipality of Porto Torres in Sardinia developed an effective solution to face energy poverty by installing photovoltaic panels on the roofs of families in need. The city council has created a revolving fund of €250,000 for 2017, and the same amount is allocated for 2018. These resources are used to buy photovoltaic panels leased free of charge to families with financial difficulties for a maximum of 25 years. The families will consume part of the energy produced by the panels for free and the surplus is sold to the national electrical grid. These revenues are reinjected into the fund, which allows new families to be included the following year. It has been calculated that in the next 25 years around 400 families will benefit from this initiative and can save each €150 to €200 of their bill per year."
