The authorisation for the Marrubiù solar power plant was granted in September 2021, with construction commencing in June 2023. Built on municipal land, the project exemplifies the harmonious integration of renewable energy infrastructure and community benefits. The municipality will receive annual rental income from the land for the next 30 years, reinforcing the plant’s long-term value to the local economy.
“I am delighted with this commissioning, a significant milestone for Qair in Italy. I would like to thank the Municipality of Marrubiù and the Sardinia region for their trust and support towards a greener and more self-sufficient future for the highland. This initiative reflects Qair’s commitment to local communities while advancing the transition to clean energy,” said Emmanuel Macqueron, CEO at Qair Italy.
