Tuscany agrivoltaic expansion debate

Overview

In Tuscany, the expansion of large-scale photovoltaic and agrivoltaic plants has triggered debates over the protection of agricultural landscapes and biodiversity.

In the Val di Cornia area, the Comitato Terre di Val di Cornia has raised concerns regarding “energy speculation,” urging local municipalities to work with the Superintendency to protect rural areas and preserve agricultural identity. While the association Legambiente supports accelerating renewable energy deployment to address climate crises, it maintains that projects must prioritize soil protection and local community benefits.

In the Maremma region, the movement ‘I love Grosseto’ has also voiced opposition to agrivoltaic expansion. The group advocates for agroforestry and regenerative agriculture as superior alternatives for providing shade and soil protection, proposing that the region focus on becoming a national laboratory for water management and biodiversity.
