Si tratta di un cittadino svizzero di 55 anni e di un collega di cui si stanno verificando le generalità. Alla Centrale comune d'allarme (Cecal) era stato segnalato inizialmente un incendio all'interno dell'edificio.

Sul posto sono intervenuti agenti della Polizia cantonale, i militi del Corpo Pompieri di Biasca, dell'Alta Leventina e di Bellinzona, che hanno provveduto alle operazioni di spegnimento e di messa in sicurezza dell'area, nonché i soccorritori di Tre Valli Soccorso e della Rega.

Come scrive il quotidiano La regione: “Una possibile causa può essere un problema a un convertitore di frequenza per lo scambio tra la rete elettrica delle Ferrovie Federali e quella dell’Azienda Elettrica Ticinese”.

Turkey accelerates on renewables but remains dependent on coal

In 2025, wind and solar produced 22% of Turkey's electricity, overtaking hydroelectric for the first time, but coal remains the top source with 34%, two-thirds of which comes from imported fuel. Despite progress in renewables, growth in demand, dependence on foreign countries and network limitations are hindering the energy transition, according to the IEA and Ember ahead of COP31 in Antalya in 2026.
