Montalto di Castro Nuclear Power Station

The Montalto di Castro nuclear power station was a nuclear power plant at Montalto di Castro in Italy. Consisting of two BWR units each of 982 MWe, it was approaching completion in 1988 when the Italian government decided to close all nuclear plants as a result of the 1987 referendum. In February 1988 the two units were eighty percent complete, representing about a five billion dollars investment. It never operated. Its area and some of the already built structures are now used by the fossil-fuel power station "Alessandro Volta", the biggest power station in Italy. In 2024, Enel and solar power developer Comal announced the construction of the Tracker Sun Hunter factory, a solar tracker manufacturing facility that will be built inside the Montalto di Castro nuclear power station.
