1. Monteverdi, 21 July 1997 - Today Enel WHAT'S ENEL? inaugurated two new geothermoelectric power stations in a town close to Pisa for a total investment of around 210 billion lire. These power plants, with an overall capacity of 40 Mw, are able to produce 260 million kW/h per year, the requirements for about 350,000 people.

2. Enel is one of the first electricity companies in the world to use a technology that involves fluid washing at a depth of more than 1,000 metres. These plants have also been designed to reduce their impact on the envIlronment..

3. This is another important step in the development of geothermal power. Over the next five years there are plans to raise capacity by around 200 Mw in addition to the current 512. Because of the multiple uses of steam in industry and as an alternative source of energy for domestic heating, the construction of these two new Enel power stations should have a positive impact on the whole area in terms of employment and for social and economic benefits.

4. "We can state with satisfaction – the Chairman of Enel said - that together with the development and enhancement of geothermooelectric resources, Enel is working actively in the field of research, with attention to the environment and local situations".
