The production of electricity originated in the Vatican in 1897 when it was decided to get it to drop water comes Braccianense, whose scope is still divided into two branches: the first arrives at Villa Carpegna, and then comes to the Fontanone japan and the second along the route of the Via Aurelia to the Vatican from Porta Pertusa.
The total flow of water (243 l / s) was collected in duct stone, inside the Vatican Gardens to the Grotto of Lourdes and here divided as follows: 134 l / s for the Sacred Apostolic Palace, and 109 l / s to the Reverend Fabric of St. Peter. The first course, continuing to the Fountain of the tunnel, but allowed to start in the conduct of the Mole, who used the jump of 15 meters. They were the buildings of the old wheels to accommodate, in the years 1897-1898, the first power station of the Vatican, inaugurated by Pope Leo XIII in 1899.
Among the works that, as a result of the Lateran Treaty of 1929, the new order of the State of Vatican City required as a necessary and urgent figure around an organic complex of work to fix, according to a unit, plants of light and energy Electricity, heating, water supply, fire prevention. The problem of electrical services was linked to the availability and flow of the Acqua Paola fall and winter heating needs: the need to generate electricity through steam turbines, making the jump to the corresponding enthalpy value of two relatively high pressure, directed that adopt a CHP system, with the use of the jump for the centralized production of residual thermal energy for heating. The demands of the two convergent services, electrical and thermal, directed towards the realization of a Thermal Power Plant.
Between 1932 and 1933 was designed and built the new thermal power plant which the Holy Father Pius XI inaugurated personally by acting on the adjustment control of the first turbine. The Central "Alessandro Volta" was built where there was the Mint of the Papal States, under the wheels, and there were all transferred to existing plants, which were some changes that provide more power generators and a corresponding extension of utilities electric.
The period between 1931 and 1935 was marked by the phase of maximum intensity in the speeches and deeds of arrangement and reorganization of the Vatican City. In the years 1933-34 was studied and performed in part and in the years 1935-36 was completed the new distribution network of the Sacred Palaces, headed by a central cabin substation called the Triangle. The Thermal Power Station to meet the network load Vatican usually with a single turbo, served by one or two depending on the boiler heating system was running or not, the third boiler was in reserve.
