RWE takes FID on two Italian wind farms

Posted on 14 July 2023

RWE has taken a final investment decision to build two new onshore wind farms in Italy’s Apulia region with a planned capacity of 108MW in total.

Both of the projects, San Severo, located in San Severo Municipality and Mondonuovo, located in Mesagne Municipality, have already received building permit.

The total investment volume amounts to approximately €180m.

The 54MW San Severo project will use 12 turbines with a capacity of 4.5MW each. These are scheduled to be installed and commissioned by the end of 2024. RWE plans to start construction in autumn.

The Mondonuovo site will use nine machines with a capacity of 6MW, with construction of the 54MW development scheduled to start in the beginning of 2024 and the facility to be commissioned by mid-2025.

RWE Renewables Europe & Australia chief executive Katja Wünschel: “We at RWE are excited to have two major onshore wind farms ready to be built in our key market Italy. San Severo and Mondonuovo will make the best use of wind in Italy to drive forward the energy transition. This is a big step on our way to reach 1GW of renewables capacity in Italy.”
