Italy has agreed to a Vatican plan to turn a 430-hectare (1,000-acre) plot of land north of Rome into a vast solar farm that will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of Vatican City.
Vatican City: Pope Francis has ordered the Vatican to install a solar plant that will provide electricity to the entire city state, as the pontiff does his bit to tackle climate change.
According to the Holy Father, the new solar plant will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote climate neutrality. The plant will be located in Santa Maria di Galeria,
We specialize in large-scale solar power generation, solar energy projects, industrial and commercial wind-solar hybrid systems, photovoltaic projects, photovoltaic products, solar industry solutions,
In 2024, the late Pope Francis issued an apostolic letter ordering the construction of an agrivoltaic solar plant to supply the Vatican with energy from Santa Maria di Galeria. On the same site, the new solar
In the heart of the Vatican, we converted 2,134m2 of idle roof space into a source of green renewable energy. The energy produced by this plant is directly fed into the Vatican''s grid, helping to save
To achieve his aim, solar panels will be installed on a Vatican-owned property outside Rome. The power generated could supply all of Vatican City''s energy needs.
There''s no country anywhere on Earth that''s entirely powered by renewable energy every day, but that''s soon to change. In a letter released on June 21 entitled “Brother Sun” Pope Francis
By May 29th, 2025, that vision was fulfilled, and the Vatican City became one of the only fully solar-powered states in the world, setting a clear precedent on how belief and sustainability can align.
To model what this could look like, he announced that solar panels would be installed on a Vatican-owned property outside Rome, and the power generated from that could supply all of
