Town residents by wind raises 6000000 Have you ever wanted to reduce the garbage disposal? Or child ?? reduce the cost burden of child nutrition school lunch? Or is it to live in a place to enjoy the Spa discount? These small town in Italian Tocco Da Casauria (hereinafter referred to as the Tocco) It is possible, relying on renewable energy sources receive a nearly NT about 600 million windfall. Italy's high electricity prices among the best in Europe, nearly three times the US average price of a long time in the face of oil price fluctuations can not do anything. Meanwhile, the cost of renewable energy is rapidly falling, especially in most European countries, the government guaranteed an attractive price for renewable electricity, renewable energy and add more appeal.
Tocco mountain in central Italy, the whole town is home to about 2,700 residents, belonging to the poorer regions. When you looked into the distance from the town streets, you can see the towering rugged mountains in the winter will be snowy white hills, and dwarf four towering wind turbines. Tocco is in a great location, just located in a wind tunnel with airflow blowing from the mountains in the morning, in the afternoon there are strong gusts blowing in from the sea. Therefore, wind turbines operate almost 24 hours a day, electricity production capacity needed more than 30% over the town. In fact, Tocco early in 1989 by the early European wind ?? demonstration projects chosen location, but older wind turbines up to supply a small town only 25% of electricity demand, and also brought disturbing noises . Until recent years, with advances in technology, only in 2007 and 2009, respectively, build four noiseless wind turbines. However, due to lack of government funding, through Italy and a private energy company SOLO RINNOVABILI SRL contract, so the company responsible for the construction of wind turbines and get ownership and management, will be more 30% of the electricity sold back to the Italian national grid; and the land of wind turbines is leased to Tocco town, in 2009, the company put a sell electricity created by the NT about $ 6 million a year profit, partly reserved subsidies to local elementary school nutritious lunch (every day reduction of about 40 yuan more than NT) Lunch costs for services such as school facilities renovation shockproof, general home residents also like garbage removal, street cleaning, weeding and other local tax relief (per year just to pay about 4,000 yuan NT , equivalent to the weekly cost savings of about NT $ 40-80 yuan), and even subsidy of NT $ 400,000 for the la corda d'oro cosplay local residents enjoy local health Spa discount. Italian prices rise relative to today, a family must be more than a month issued 4000 yuan of spending money, rely on assumptions about the local olive groves residents living in general, the average monthly salary of about NT $ 40,000 for the local average family It will be a very heavy burden.
Tocco was wind power firm fixed-price contract signed with the Government of the acquisition, limited though so town residents can save electricity, but the town can provide electricity self-sufficiency and reduce the impact of price fluctuations; plus the wind Taiwan dollars a year to create about 600 million profit, feedback subsidies or concessions to residents a month to get it up to a thousand or so (the Italian average monthly household electricity bill about 4,000 yuan, four times more expensive than the average household in Taiwan). also provides services to other public building, so many local residents for a huge windmill welcomed. In addition, simply relying on wind power, there are still risks, so this inspired by the wind renewable energy, Tocco rise of investment in solar power panels, in street lighting, public facilities and cemeteries set up solar panels to produce annually approximately NT 60000-8 million in revenue to cover their maintenance costs. In addition, a growing number of wealthy homeowners to set up solar power panels on the roof of his home, as the town in which a wealthy owner, said the original for this expenditure is not good, but he found the subsequent monthly electricity savings of up to NT about more than 20,000 yuan, he believes the investment well worth it.
Although there are other regions in Italy it is also required for the use of renewable energy generation to meet the electricity, but because Tocco is one of the largest and most advanced one, described as the best example of sustainable development. Whether the use of wind, solar cosplay costumes for sale or other types of renewable energy, Tocco can act as elsewhere, learning objects, of which $ 6 million profit represents renewable energy as long as through the full and effective use of, not only the future of sustainable development The key to more business opportunities lurking should not be underestimated, raise renewable energy investment will.
Looking back, we are also facing Taiwan oil prices, rising electricity prices, if the development of environmentally friendly and safer renewable energy and efficient use of power, but also the extra "cosplay haruhi suzumiya " profits back people, and we aspire to drive the green energy of life, create a win-win economic development and environmental protection, where is the future trend.
