FAQs 6

Will Vatican City run on solar power?

A letter entitled ‘Brother Sun’ laid out the pontiff’s plans. Pope Francis has renewables on his mind as he says he wants Vatican City to run on solar power. To achieve his aim, solar panels will be installed on a Vatican-owned property outside Rome. The power generated could supply all of Vatican City's energy needs.

How will the Vatican's new energy system work?

According to the Vatican’s press office, the installation will apply the most advanced solutions currently available, balancing clean energy generation with the preservation of agricultural use, the region’s hydrogeological stability, and the protection of its cultural and archaeological heritage (ZENIT News / Rome, 08.01.2025).-

Who entrusted the construction of the agrivoltaic plant?

The construction of the agrivoltaic plant has been entrusted to the President of the Governorate of Vatican City State, Cardinal Fernando Véregez Alzaga, LC; and the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, Archbishop Giordano Piccinotti, SDB.

Will a Vatican Radio station be installed in 2025?

The future installation would be projected to “ensure, not only the power supply of the radio station existing there, but also the complete energy support of Vatican City State,” he wrote. Fast forward to 2025, and the project is completed.

Where is the new Vatican Radio system being built?

The construction will take place on Vatican property approximately 11 miles from Rome, in the area of Santa Maria di Galeria. The property is currently used for broadcasting Vatican Radio. The system will combine renewable electricity production with the needs of the underlying agricultural land.

How do Agrivoltaics work?

Agrivoltaics involves the dual use of land for solar energy production and agriculture. They are built with a series of solar panels that coexist with crops, livestock or both. Sometimes the solar arrays are situated on top of greenhouses, interwoven among crops, or elevated plants. Where is the Vatican’s solar installation located?
