The contract includes the supply and installation of 24 V136-4.2MW wind turbines as well as a multi-year Active Output Management (AOM 5000) service agreement.
Vestas head of Italy, Francesco Amati said: “We are very happy to announce our partnership with ERG for this project which is the largest one we have signed in the last fifteen years in Italy.
“This signature highlights the versatility of our 4 MW platform and adds more than 100MW of clean energy to the Italian energy mix, supporting, once again, the country’s energy transition towards a more sustainable future.”
Turbine delivery is planned by the second quarter of 2023 whilst commissioning will take place in the second half of 2023.
