Enel Green Power, Legacoop sign biomass generator deal

(ANSA) – Rome, November 20 – Renewable energy corporation Enel Green Power S.p.A. and the Italian Legacoop cooperative federation on Wednesday signed an agreement to jointly develop a network of biomass renewable energy microgenerators all over the national territory. ”They represent a great opportunity for our country because they will recycle agricultural and forest waste, reduce the risk of floods and landslides, promote economic development and create jobs in our rural and mountain areas,” Enel Green Power said in a note.

Biomass generators use agricultural and municipal waste as well as forest residues such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps, yard clippings, and wood chips.

Legacoop is made up of 15,000 cooperatives operating in every region and every economic sector.

Enel Green Power is a subsidiary of Enel electric utility company.
