Following the construction start of San Severo at the end of 2023, RWE has started the construction of another wind farm in Apulia region in south-east Italy. In total, an average of 150 RWE colleagues and experts from external service providers will be involved during the construction phase of the project. Nine turbines will be installed, each with a capacity of 5.9 megawatts (MW). The 53 MW Mondonuovo wind farm is scheduled to be commissioned in 2025.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: ‘We are building two major onshore wind farms with 21 new generation turbines in Italy, one of our key markets. After commissioning, Mondonuovo and San Severo will be able to supply up to 110,000 homes with green electricity every year. These projects will help RWE to reach our ambitious climate target of Net Zero by 2040 and to support the Italian 2030 ambition for the energy transition and security.’
