Tavazzano e Montanaso thermoelectric power plant is built on an area of around 79 hectares in the Municipalities of Montanaso Lombardo and Tavazzano con Villavesco, in the province of Lodi from Milan.
The plant has an installed capacity of 1,970 MW and it consists of three CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) units.
The plant is close to important electricity consumption centres.
In 2000 the plant was one of the first industrial sites in Italy to obtain ISO 14001 environmental certification. It is also certified ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and it is included in the European EMAS Register.
In 2025, a new, state-of-the-art combined cycle unit (GT36 H-class turbine) with an Electric output of about 800 MW and an efficiency of more than 62 % has been committed.
The project is in line with the objectives of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan regarding the decarbonisation and security of the national electricity system.
The Tavazzano new unit falls within the Capacity Market, a mechanism by which Terna procures generation capacity under long-term supply contracts awarded through competitive auctions.
The new combined cycle unit operation lead to an improvement in environmental performance, with a further reduction in atmospheric emissions (both mass and specific) and no increase in the thermal impact on the Muzza Canal’s waters.
