Hydroelectric power plant of Olevano sul Tusciano (SA)
Description
The Tusciano Hydroelectric Power Plant is made up of seven production plants that are spread over a vast territory of the Campania Region, which includes the Provinces of Salerno (six plants and a reservoir) and Avellino (one plant).
The Tusciano hydroelectric power plant, the first hydroelectric plant in southern Italy, was built in the early 1900s. The Tusciano plant currently has a production of approximately 9.8 MW. The water used by the plant is channeled through a dam on the Tusciano river in the Acquabuona area, in the municipality of Acerno. Through an underground pipeline, the water reaches, in about an hour, the collection tank in the "Bacino", here it is made to flow in an iron pipeline and after a jump of 280 meters it reaches the turbines that transmit the energy to an alternator that produces the electricity then fed into the grid.
A generation group with a power of 9.2 MW and a production capacity of 45 GWh/year is installed in the power plant.
