After
over 6 years, the Enel Green Power hydroelectric power plant in Capodacqua, a
small town in central Italy severely affected by the 2016 earthquake, is once
again generating renewable energy. Following the completion of the plant's
reconstruction, entirely revamped with a strong emphasis on maximum
sustainability and circular economy principles, the small power plant now also
features a new LED lighting system, further affirming its commitment to an
ecological footprint.

Product specification and installation
Enel Green Power Italia
Releasing new energy into an area devastated by the
severe earthquake of 2016, the Capodacqua hydroelectric plant by Enel Green
Power has come back to life in 2023 after a 5-year hiatus and about two years
of reconstruction work. Completely redeveloped according to strict criteria of
environmental sustainability, innovation, and circular economy, the century-old
plant can now meet the energy needs of approximately 400 families through the
production of renewable energy. Furthermore, the Capodacqua plant is a concrete
example not only of sustainability, as it prevents over 800 tons of CO2
emissions annually, but also of environmental preservation, being completely
rebuilt with either recycled or eco-friendly materials.
To highlight this icon of rebirth and sustainability,
Enel Green Power Italia has equipped the plant with a functional and decorative
LED lighting system, capable of enhancing the plant building with dynamic colour-changing
effects and, at the same time, sending a concrete signal of proximity,
encouragement, and renewed enthusiasm to a territory too often put to the strain.
To achieve a uniform wall wash effect on the
building's façade, a series of linear PARADE L4 modules in RGBW color
configuration with wall wash optics have been installed facing downward on the
upper edge of the roof. Another 6 lighting fixtures of the same type but with
narrow optics were instead used to achieve the desired effect on the most
visible part of the building's roof. To complete the lighting scheme, 4 CAPITAL
100 RGBW illuminate the large ducts that rise from the power plant up the hill
behind. A fully wireless DMX control system allows simple and immediate
management of the entire system, offering the possibility of dynamic or static
color scene changes when required.
Successfully transformed by Enel Green Power into a
beacon of environmental responsibility, the Capodacqua hydroelectric power
plant now stands as a colourful testament to resilience, sustainability, and
innovation.
