The project to refurbish the Marghera Levante power plant will keep the authorised electricity production capacity unchanged while reducing the installed thermal capacity. In this way, it will be possible to produce the same quantity of electricity using less fuel, thereby improving the plant’s energy efficiency and its output, which will reach 63%, compared to the current 55%.
The intervention, which will last for three years, will make it possible to reduce the specific emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide and to rationalise the volumes occupied by the engineering structures of the power plant, with a reduction of the chimneys from 5 to 3 and a consequent reduction of the visual impact on the Porto Marghera skyline.
