Hexicon has been granted permission by (TSO) Terna SpA to link six of its seven floating wind projects to the Italian power grid. Together, the six authorized sites have a total combined capacity of 7,100 MW.
The remaining site permit is pending. The interconnection permit, also known as an STMG, is a preliminary agreement for interconnection capacity from TSO. It is required in order to gain authorization to construct and operate an offshore wind farm, as it constitutes a commitment from the TSO to make the necessary capacity available for grid connection.
Hexicon now has seven floating wind development sites along the shores of Sardinia, Sicily, and Puglia.
