With a recent ruling, the Council of State rejected the appeal of the Municipality of Taranto against the near shore wind farm (about 100 meters from the coast) of Beleolico. The story has distant origins in time, since the project was presented in 2008; in July 2012 he had obtained a positive opinion for the Via and the Vas from the Ministry of the Environment, rejecting the negative opinion then presented by the Puglia Region together with the Superintendence of landscape assets. The Municipality of Taranto then came forward, also opposed to the wind farm, which had appealed to the TAR of Lecce adopting, among the reasons, the illegality of the provision. Appeal rejected by the Apulian regional court with confirmation now in second instance from Palazzo Spada; the Council of State, in fact, rejected the appeal of the Municipality against the sentence of the TAR, thus unblocking the process of this 63 million euro project . When fully operational, the plant will have ten wind turbines placed on 110 meters high towers, with a total power of 30 MW and will be located between Punta Rondinella and the mouth of the Tara river, seven kilometers from the center of the municipality in an area that is outside the sites of national or community interest as well as special protection areas; a submarine cable about two kilometers long will carry the energy produced on land, energy that should be sufficient to make the port of Taranto energetically self-sufficient. And as Legambiente recalled just a few days ago, it is not even the only marine wind power plant designed for the Apulian waters. Other assets have been presented and blockedsix wind farms in the Gulf of Manfredonia, in Campomarino, off the coast of San Pietro Vernotico and in Tricase in whose waters an experimental floating wind farm should have been installed .
