Larderello
About 900 MW Tuscan complex where geothermal power was born.
Overview
Piero Ginori Conti lit lamps with geothermal steam in 1904, and the first commercial plant followed in 1913. Dry steam from granite hosted reservoirs still drives dozens of units. The field supplies a notable share of regional electricity.
