RWE hat mit dem Bau von zwei großen Windparks in Italien begonnen.

• Windpark Serra Palino (47 MW) in Apulien
• Windpark Venusia (45 MW) in der Basilikata
• Inbetriebnahme geplant für Ende 2026
• Insgesamt können die neuen Windparks ausreichend Ökostrom erzeugen, um mehr als 83.000 Haushalte zu versorgen.

(WK-intern) – Der 47-MW-Windpark Serra Palino liegt in der Provinz Foggia in Apulien und wird aus acht 5,9-MW-Turbinen bestehen.

Für den 45-MW-Windpark Venusia in der Provinz Potenza in der Basilikata wird RWE acht 5,6-MW-Turbinen installieren.

Beide Projekte waren bei der jüngsten italienischen Auktion für erneuerbare Energien erfolgreich; die Inbetriebnahme ist für Ende nächsten Jahres geplant.

Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: „Wir setzen unseren Weg zur Unterstützung der italienischen Energiewende fort. Nach der Inbetriebnahme des Windparks Mondonuovo im Juli haben wir mit dem Bau zweier neuer Onshore-Windparks in Italien begonnen. Nach ihrer Inbetriebnahme werden diese Projekte mehr als 83.000 italienische Haushalte mit Ökostrom versorgen können. Onshore-Windkraft ist ein Eckpfeiler der italienischen Energiewende, und das aus gutem Grund: Sie ist sauber, ausgereift und erschwinglich.“

RWE ist ein wichtiger Akteur im italienischen Markt für erneuerbare Energien. Das Unternehmen verfolgt einen integrierten Projektansatz, der die Entwicklung, den Bau und den Betrieb sowie die Vermarktung von Wind- und Solarparks umfasst. RWE betreibt in Italien 17 Onshore-Windparks mit einer installierten Gesamtleistung von 598 MW – genug, um jährlich mehr als 500.000 italienische Haushalte mit Ökostrom zu versorgen. Zusätzlich zu seinen neuesten Onshore-Windparks errichtet RWE derzeit seine ersten kommerziellen Agri-PV-Anlagen Morcone (9,8 MWac) und Acquafredda (9,3 MWac) in der Region Kampanien.

RWE starts construction of 92 megawatts of onshore wind capacity in Italy

• Serra Palino wind farm, 47 MW, located in the Apulia region
• Venusia wind farm, 45 MW, located in the Basilicata region
• Commissioning planned for the end of 2026
• In total, the new wind farms will be able to generate enough green electricity to supply more than 83,000 households

RWE has begun construction of two major wind farms in Italy. The 47 MW Serra Palino wind farm is located in the province of Foggia, in the Apulia region and will consist of eight 5.9 MW turbines. For the 45 MW Venusia wind farm, located in the province of Potenza in the Basilicata region, RWE will install eight 5.6 MW turbines. Both projects were successful in the latest Italian renewables auction with commissioning planned for the end of next year.

Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “Our journey to support Italy’s energy transition continues. Following the commissioning of the Mondonuovo wind farm in July, we have started construction of two new onshore wind farms in Italy. Once commissioned, these projects will be able to supply green electricity to more than 83,000 Italian households. Onshore wind power is a cornerstone of Italy’s energy transition, and for good reason: it is clean, mature and affordable.”
