Germany / Italy: RWE secured two wind projects in Italy’s latest renewables auction: the 45 MW Venusia wind farm in Potenza, Basilicata, and the 48 MW Serra Palino wind farm in Foggia, Apulia. Construction is set to begin in late 2025, with commissioning expected in 2026.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia said: “Onshore wind is a main pillar of Italy’s energy transition and RWE’s growth strategy. With this success, we are adding two more major wind farms to our already strong Italian onshore wind portfolio. We look forward to realising Venusia and Serra Palino wind farms – the next milestones in our journey to support a clean, stable and cost-effective energy future for Italy.”
RWE is a key player in the Italian renewables market. The company takes an integrated project approach that incorporates the development, construction and operation as well as marketing of wind farms and solar plants. As of today, RWE operates 16 onshore wind farms with a combined installed capacity of 527 MW in the country. With its onshore fleet, RWE supplies around 450,000 Italian households with green electricity every year. In addition RWE recently commissioned its first Italian solar plant Bosco (8.3 MWac) in Sicily.
