250 MW Floating wind farm in Italy receives Environmental Impact Assessment Approval
Italian Ministry for Environment and Energy Security has granted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval for the 250 MW 7SeasMed Floating Offshore Wind Project located in the Mediterranean sea in the Strait of Sicily, Italy.
7SeasMed is a floating offshore wind project that will be located approximately 35 kilometers off the coast of Marsala, Sicily. Approval of the EIA paves the way for the construction and operation of the offshore wind farm, which will use cutting edge-technologies and environmentally-conscious practices.
The floating offshore wind project is part of a larger 3 GW offshore wind portfolio in Italy owned by the GreenIT and CIP partnership, and of which COP serves as lead development partner. This is one of the largest floating portfolios in Italy and in addition to 7SeasMed it includes the Ichnusa (504MW, Sardinia) Tyrrhenian (500MW, Latium), Nurax (500MW, Sardinia), and Poseidon (1000MW, Sardinia) projects.
