Lazio Region: work starts for 34.5 million for the energy efficiency of the Fondi fruit and vegetable market

The executive phase of the works for the energy efficiency of the Fondi fruit and vegetable market (MOF), the reference infrastructure for the Centre-South and engine of the regional agri-food economy, has begun. The intervention, with a total value of 34.5 million euros, financed under the PR Lazio FESR 2021-2027, involves the installation of photovoltaic systems, efficient air conditioning systems and building redevelopment works. The objective is to reduce energy consumption, promote renewable sources and make the MOF more modern and efficient.

The delivery of the works was presented by the regional councilors Giancarlo Righini and Elena Palazzo, on Friday 6 November inside the MOF, in the Benedetto Recchia multipurpose room. During the meeting, the mayor of Fondi, Vincenzo Carnevale, the president of the MOF, Bernardino Quattrociocchi, the regional director of the Environment Department, Wanda D'Ercole, spoke.

The intervention of the Lazio Region is part of the strategy for energy efficiency, which also includes 60 million euros, again financed through the ERDF, intended for municipal buildings. The Municipality of Fondi, in particular, was allocated approximately 1.86 million euros for the energy redevelopment of the Sports Hall, the Town Hall and the Dan Danino multimedia center in Sarra.

«The energy transition must translate into concrete results: less consumption, greater use of renewable sources and more efficient structures. With this intervention we apply the same vision to a strategic infrastructure such as the MOF, demonstrating that environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness can proceed together. Investing in energy efficiency means reducing waste, improving the performance of buildings and creating new development opportunities for the territory", said Elena Palazzo, regional councilor for Energy Transition and Sustainability.
