(Adnkronos) - Si chiama Underground Compact Substation ed è la prima cabina elettrica secondaria completamente interrata, impermeabile e compatta in Italia. Inaugurata presso lo Smart Lab di Unareti in via Rubattino a Milano, la cabina innovativa è stata progettata da A2a con la collaborazione di Schneider Electric e rappresenta un importante tassello del lavoro di potenziamento delle reti elettriche di Milano che, da qui al 2030, come previsto dal piano industriale di Unareti, vedrà investimenti per ben un miliardo di euro.

00:00 A new solution to support the electricity consumption and face the impacts of climate change.
00:10 The underground compact substation, the compact electric cabin completely buried and waterproof,
00:16 designed by A2A with the collaboration of Schneider Electric, is born precisely with this goal.
00:21 The prototype, a Unicum in Italy, has been presented today at the Smart Lab of a network in Milan.
00:27 It is an important part of the work of strengthening the electric networks of the Lombard capital,
00:33 which from here to 2030, as provided by the industrial plan of a network, will see investments for a billion euros.
00:40 This ghost we inaugurated today is a compact secondary cabin,
00:45 which is underground to be able to give energy to our fellow citizens,
00:51 without taking precious space from the public land of Milan.
00:56 It is fundamental to be able to grow in terms of electricity power.
01:00 Milan is a very particular city, it has an electricity power with a density five times higher than that of Rome,
01:07 to understand the problem that a network faces every day,
01:10 and with an energy transition towards electrification,
01:14 then mobility electrification, heating electrification, heat pumps, induction plan,
01:19 which is continuing at a very important pace.
01:22 We must therefore strengthen the electric networks of Milan.
01:26 From here to 2030 we have planned a billion euros of investments.
01:29 This year we have invested 135 million euros in electric networks only in Milan,
01:33 and this gives the idea of the effort.
01:36 It is an innovation born within 2A with the collaboration of Schneider Electric,
01:42 of which we are very proud.
01:44 The need to reduce the consumption of soil and respond effectively to the consequences of the climate crisis
01:50 makes this technological innovation a real resource for Milan.
01:54 We must thank Schneider Electric, 2A is a network for this project,
01:58 which will be an example of how the city and the electricity supply service,
02:04 of which there will be more and more need, adapts and mitigates the effects of climate change.
02:09 This tells us how we are going in the right direction,
02:13 which is to adapt in the years when we prepare to reach carbon neutrality,
02:19 CO2 emissions. In the meantime, we must adapt to what is happening.
