Hydrogen Future for Ex-Enel Site Remains Unresolved

Despite initial promises, the future of the former Enel power plant in Rossano remains unresolved. Silence has caused growing frustration among local people, unions, and institutions.

With the recent merger of Corigliano and Rossano and ambitious plans for a unified waterfront, addressing the ex-Enel site is urgent. Paolo Cerbella, the provincial secretary of Uil, has made a clear appeal: it is time to resolve this issue and ensure a productive future for an area still hurting from past neglect.

Unresolved Issue

The saga of the ex-Enel power plant in Rossano has long been the subject of debates and clashes without any breakthrough. Initially, Enel proposed converting the site into a hydrogen production facility, a technology many consider the future of clean energy. However, this project was abandoned, leaving the area uncertain and costing the local economy potential jobs and growth. Paolo Cerbella emphasized that tackling the ex-Enel plant issue is a recurrent problem for the union, highlighting an ongoing effort to find tangible solutions.

Importance of Hydrogen

The production of hydrogen is a strategic opportunity for economic development and environmental sustainability. Cerbella asserts that Enel, as a state-participated company, is responsible for the region. He believes that the focus should return to considering hydrogen as the solution. The failure to implement this project represents an economic loss for the Basso Jonio area and a lack of vision for the future of clean energy in Italy.

An Open Wound

The problem of the ex-power plant shouldn’t end with just dismantling the facility. Cerebella insists that this site needs a productive future to compensate for past sufferings and reduce symbols of neglect. He questions the decision to disinvest in hydrogen production, a future-oriented sector, and stresses the potential benefits hydrogen production could bring to the area.

A Plea to Politicians

The most critical issue is the lack of a strong response from institutions. Cerbella calls local and national politicians to take responsibility and push Enel to reconsider. He states that Enel is not just any company, and it is crucial for the political administration to act swiftly and restart a project that can revive the ex-Enel area.
