Removal of the crossbar on the Po

​​
Status: completed 
Period: 2005 – 2006 

During the plant operation period, the barrier placed on the River Po was used to optimise water supply, by channelling the water needed for the operation. After removing the barrier, the supply was ensured through the creation of a new draining system taking groundwater from four wells; this system allowed the rationalisation of plants and a reduction in energy consumption.
