Production is eco-friendly
On the border of Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia, the hamlet of Zeri is a perfect destination for lovers of peace and quiet of the mountains. Here in this green countryside of Italy, the Family Bugatti has in recent years accelerated investments on renewable energies.
A great challenge to slash carbon emissions and to battle global warming.
Idroimpianti Zeri Srl is the fifth company of the Bugatti Group which produces electricity from hydropower. With a 35-years right to use hydropower of Gordana river, the hydroelectric station is now producing 1.500.000 KWH of pure renewable energy, which represents almost 35% of the total electrical consumption of the Group. If compared to thermoelectric power plants based on fossil fuels, the cost of hydroelectricity is relativerly low. It is also a flexible source of electricity, since the amount of the station can be varied up or down very rapidly to adapt to changing energy demands.
