The Ururi wind farm is due to be commissioned by the end of this year. The total of 13 wind turbines of the 2MW class will be supplied by the Danish plant vendor Vestas. The investment in the wind farm will be made jointly by RWE Innogy Italia (51%) and Fri-El Green Power (49%).
The wind farm will produce about 55 million kWh of electricity per year. It will be built by the project company Andromeda Wind with support from Fri-El, a joint venture of RWE Innogy and the Italian wind farm operator and developer Fri-El Green Power.
The Ururi wind farm is the second wind farm to be installed by RWE Innogy jointly with Fri-El Green Power in Italy this year. At present, RWE Innogy is erecting a 24.65MW wind farm on Sardinia, approximately 35km north of the city of Cagliari.
Paul Coffey, chief operating officer of RWE Innogy, said: “We intend to continue expanding our wind power activities in Italy because the high growth potential makes the Italian market very attractive for RWE Innogy. This does not only go for wind power, but also for our biomass activities in Italy.”
