Enel Green Power has started the construction of the Partanna wind farm in Sicily, Italy. The plant will be built in Contrada Magaggiari, in the province of Trapani, and will consist of six 2.4 MW wind turbines, with a total capacity of 14.4 MW.
The wind farm is scheduled to become fully operational in April 2021. It will produce around 40 GWh annually, corresponding to the supply of energy for approximately 10 thousand homes, and avoiding the emission of roughly 33,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
The project will be carried out with the utmost attention to safeguarding the area and the region in order to minimize any foreseeable impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
The Partanna plant is part of the GSE Italy tender award, which provides for the realization of increased capacity and upgrades to existing plants.
