If Italy is the first country in the world to build a highway, most people will be surprised at this. In fact, the “Milan-Laggi†A8 highway (connecting Milan with Lake Como and Lake Mareggio) was built as early as 1926. However, Italy will soon be able to achieve a new "first": Catania - Siracusa A18 (a new 30km road in the 600km highway network in Sicily) will become a completely solar energy As a powered highway, it will be the world's first solar highway. The commissioning of this frontier infrastructure is already in good working order. This expressway will be the most advanced highway in Europe, with significant performance in many aspects including control systems, monitoring equipment, road quality, and safety performance. At present, construction activities have ended, and a quarter of solar panels have been put into operation by the end of September. The project's general contractor, Pizzarotti & Co., plans to bring all solar panels online by the beginning of December. These solar panels will even be able to provide clean energy for Sicily's power grid systems before they are used locally. The testing phase will be completed in November. By January 1, 2011, the Catania-Siracusa highway will be open to the public. By that time, the electricity needed for the entire section of the highway will be provided by 100 thousand photovoltaic solar panels installed along the road, including road lighting, tunnel ventilation, road signs, and emergency telephones. The entire solar panel supply area exceeds 20 hectares, and the total cost is expected to exceed 60 million euros. The annual solar power generation is expected to be 12 million kWh. According to the construction party, this is equivalent to saving 31,000 tons of oil annually and reducing 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. All the green areas involved in the project will undergo environmental restoration: the contractor will plant tens of thousands of trees and plants, help improve the existing forest line and protection system, and increase the area of ​​the local forest. This is not the first time that Italy has made renewable energy and sustainability a key design element in its road projects. In the past few months, in the Sicily region, a total of 368,000 watts of solar panels have been installed along the A20 of Messina-Palermo, and it has been able to provide electricity for 183 km of buildings along the route. In the northern part of Italy, 1000 kilometers away, a noise-isolating barrier was installed in a residential area along the A22 motorway of Bolzano, extending through the Alps to Austria. This 1 km long noise barrier is made from solar panels and generates 600,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to meet 20% of the local electricity demand. ASPI is the main franchisor for the construction and management of European toll highways. It currently constructs and manages over 3,400 km of the 6,500-kilometer-long highway network in Italy. ASPI initiated a series of activities to promote the use of renewable energy in power generation. It proposed energy-saving measures such as electricity generation from renewable energy sources, lighting in tunnels and service areas, replacement of heating and air-conditioning systems with high-efficiency power plants, and utilization of geothermal heat production and electricity production in major office buildings. These measures will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 40% and save significant maintenance costs. The "energy priority" design will eventually become the mainstream way of thinking.
