ROME/MILAN/COPENHAGEN – GreenIT and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) have signed an agreement to develop three floating offshore wind projects in Latium and Sardinia.
The plants will be located on average roughly 30 km off from the coast and have an overall capacity of about 2 GW.
The agreement involves the development of a project in Latium, off the coast of Civitavecchia, for a total capacity up to 540 MW and two other wind farms located off the coast of Olbia (Sardinia), with a power of about 500 MW and 1,000 MW. Combined, the three projects will produce about 5 TWh per year with commercial operation expected between 2028-2031 once the authorization process and subsequent construction phase are completed.
The partnership’s offshore wind portfolio in Italy will thus reach almost 3 GW with a yearly production of about 7 TWh of renewable energy.
The three offshore projects will be using floating foundations, utilizing technical solutions aimed at minimizing environmental and visual impact and will benefit from technological and logistic synergies with the other offshore wind initiatives managed within the same partnership.
The wind farms will be developed by a joint working team, in collaboration with Copenhagen Offshore Partners (the exclusive offshore wind development partner of CIP), NiceTechnology and 7 Seas Wind Power, which have collaborated with GreenIT and CIP on the deployment of two other wind farms in Sicily and Sardinia.
GreenIT is the Italian renewable energy joint venture between Plenitude (Eni) and CDP Equity (CDP Group).
