Farneta Hydroelectric Plant, Hydroelectric power station in Montefiorino, Italy.
The Romeo Melli hydroelectric plant features twin penstock pipelines that originate from a 330-meter drop at the Farneta forebay to generate electrical power.
The power station, constructed between 1924 and 1928, bears the name of engineer Romeo Melli, who directed the Società Emiliana di Esercizi Elettrici company.
The marble-paved turbine hall displays Liberty architectural style elements, incorporating earthquake-resistant construction methods from the early 20th century.
The facility generates 40 gigawatt-hours annually and prevents 18,204 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions while supplying electricity to 15,000 households.
The power plant operates within two protected zones: the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park and the High Modenese Apennines Regional Park.
