The Centrale Solare Eurelios is a key infrastructure asset in Italy's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Eurelios, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2012, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Italy, Centrale Solare Eurelios occupies the #222 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Italy's total installed solar generating capacity, which currently stands at 2,080 MW. The largest operational solar installation in Italy is the SESTO SAN GIOVANNI with an output of 111 MW, making the Centrale Solare Eurelios approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Italy's aggregate generation capacity of 131,103 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of solar power plants (modeled at 18% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Italy consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Centrale Solare Eurelios contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Italy advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 37.6491° latitude and 14.8039° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the AUGUSTA C.LE (oil-fired, 210 MW), the Contrasto (hydroelectric, 35 MW), the Bufalaro A (solar, 20 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Italy.
