Specifically, EGP was awarded 60MW of new renewable capacity for three wind projects, and 20MW from the repowering of already-operational wind and hydro projects.
Regarding the new capacity, the three wind farms are located in Sicily, Molise, and Campania and construction will start in 2020, with entry into service expected for 2021. As for the upgrading and useful life extension of the four plants already in operation, the refurbishment works will be carried out between 2020 and 2021 in Molise, Sardinia, Piedmont, and Tuscany.
