12/28/2005 Le fonti energetiche alternative possono rappresentare un’opportunità per l’impianto produttivo italiano. Questo è quanto emerge dal rapporto Enea 2005 sullo sviluppo delle fonti rinnovabili in Italia. Ma per ora il vero problema è migliorare l’efficienza energetica che negli ultimi trent’anni ha perso 6,5 punti percentuali. Per chiarire il come, vengono presentate le Energy Service Company, da cui l’acronimo ESCO. ‘L’Esco è una società che realizza a sue spese un progetto di ristrutturazione energetica finalizzato a ridurre al minimo le inefficienze, gli sprechi e gli usi impropri dell’energia’ scrive Maurizio Pallante nel suo libro ‘Un futuro senza luce?’. I risparmi che si ottengono sui costi di gestione consentono di ammortizzare i costi d’investimento di queste tecnologie. Altro buon esempio è quello del Comune di Bressanone che ha sostituito tutte le lampade ad incandescenza installate nelle lanterne semaforiche con speciali lampade semaforiche a led. Il compenso concordato con la società di servizi è, infatti, strettamente vincolato all’ammontare della quantità di energia risparmiata dagli impianti semaforici.
