Hexicon secures grid permits for 7.1 GW of Italian floating wind projects

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.
