Haizea Wind Group has signed a contract with Italian renewable energy company Renexia for the construction of monopiles in the offshore wind farm of the port of Taranto, a coastal city in Puglia, southern Italy.
The project, led by Renexia, involves the start-up of the first offshore wind farm in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the creation of the first wind farm near Taranto. The plant, which will be fully operational in 2020, will have a total capacity of 30 MW that will enable the production of 58,200 MWh. Haizea Wind Group will construct 10 units of monopiles.
The monopiles, which will be built at the Haizea Wind Group factory in the Port of Bilbao and will be delivered to Renexia in August 2019, have technical specifications up to 85 millimetres thick, a maximum of 400 tonnes of weight, 5 metres of diameter and a length of 55 metres.
Beleolico, a project company wholly owned by Renexia, holds the rights, permits, approvals and clearance for the construction and management of a wind farm in front of the multi-purpose port of the port of Taranto.
