Six people were killed in the explosion on Tuesday at a hydroelectric power station in northern Italy. A third body was found later Thursday, the Ansa agency reported in the evening.
A previous count published Thursday reported 5 dead and 2 missing. “Efficiency improvement works” were underway at the plant when the explosion occurred, according to Enel Green Power. An investigation by the Bologna public prosecutor's office is underway and it will examine, among other things, the chain of subcontractors, the local press reported on Thursday. The power plant is located on the banks of the Suviana artificial water reservoir in the small town of Camugnano, about fifty kilometers south of BologNA. The plant is managed by EnelGreen Power, the renewable energy production unit of the Italian giant Enel, which has set up a fund of two million euros for the victims and their relatives. The Bargi plant dam basin was not damaged and is safe, the group said.
