Falck to begin on 10-MW solar agrivoltaic plant in Sicily

• Falck Renewables SpA (BIT: FKR) will start following month the building and construction deals with a 9.7-MW solar (PV) plant in Sicily, its initial under its crowdfunding initiative in Italy.

The Landolina solar project will certainly be built based on the agri-voltaic model-- the plant will certainly be integrated right into the neighborhood farming activity, particularly, the cultivation of olive, carob as well as almond trees, in addition to medicinal herbs as well as polyphytic grass.

Found on a 22-hectare (54.3 acres) site in Scicli, Ragusa province, Landonila is estimated to be able to generate around 20 GWh of renewable energy, enough to meet the need of more than 5,000 families.

Landolina becomes part of Falck's "Allow's expand power!" programme, which allows local individuals to take advantage of the project. The Italian company has been conducting comparable community possession schemes for its UK wind ranches for over 15 years, Falck added.
