The Nera Montoro power station is a key infrastructure asset in Italy's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Enel, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1965, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Italy, Nera Montoro power station occupies the #108 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Italy's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 80,147 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Italy is the Alessandro Volta thermal power station with an output of 3,600 MW, making the Nera Montoro power station 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 gas power plants (modeled at 40% 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. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 42.4971° latitude and 12.4807° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the GALLETO (hydroelectric, 295 MW), the Pietro Vannucci power station (coal-fired, 150 MW), the TERNI (gas-fired, 95 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.
