The energy of the future: for the first time, Enel Green Power and the Federico II University in Naples in Italy are using 3D printing to build concrete structures in a seismic zone
In Montalto di Castro, in Italy\u2019s upper Lazio region, the construction of a small industrial building and the foundation system for part of the electrical equipment is a source of great pride for Enel Green Power and the entire Enel Group. Indeed, these structures constitute the first non-temporary concrete construction in Italy, based on the 3D printing technique, for which seismic clearance has been acquired. They will be part of a substation at our BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) facility at the "Alessandro Volta" power plant. The prototypes made can contribute to an important breakthrough, because with this technology, the construction process requires less time and is more sustainable.
