Enel Green Power has commissioned the Castelmauro wind farm in Molise, Italy.
The plant consists of seven wind turbines of 4.2MW each, for a total capacity of 29.4MW.
The new wind farm will produce about 70GWh each year from renewable sources, avoiding the emission into the atmosphere of about 30,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and the use of 15 million cubic metres of gas.
Local companies were involved in the construction of the new plant, in particular for civil works, services and maintenance.
“With the entry into operation of the Castelmauro wind farm, we are making a concrete contribution to the achievement of Italy’s decarbonisation objectives, also thanks to the collaboration with local institutions and the territory,” said CEO of Enel Green Power Salvatore Bernabei.
“This, and the other new renewable plants we intend to build in Italy, will help accelerate the energy transition and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, to the benefit of the environment, people, and the economy.”
