Italy, San Severo: RWE has commissioned one of its largest onshore wind farms in Italy after a year of construction. The 54 MW San Severo wind farm consists of 12 turbines, each with a capacity of 4.5 MW. The project is located in the province of Foggia in the municipality of San Severo, and will supply up to 55000 Italian households with green electricity.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, commented: “The commissioning of San Severo crowns a successful year with a number of new renewables projects in our core Italian market. With Mondonuovo, we have started the construction of another large wind farm, Bosco is our first Italian solar farm under construction and we have just taken the investment decision for Morcone and Acquafredda, our world’s first commercial advanced agri-PV plants to be built next spring. A big thank you to the team and all the partners and companies involved. We look forward to the next milestones in our journey to help Italy achieve net zero by 2040.”
RWE offered residents the opportunity to take up an active role in the energy transition and benefit financially directly from it. Subscribers to the community funding had the opportunity to invest between €250 and €5000 with a term of 24 months and a guaranteed return of up to 9% gross per annum. The community investment was €200000.
