Nord/LB and W.E.B Group have confirmed that the Ariano (84 MW) and Apricena (12 MW) wind farms in Italy are now officially operational. Nord/LB provided W.E.B Group with a €113 million financing package for the development of both facilities, with the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark offering export credit agency (ECA) cover for the Ariano financing.
The Ariano wind farm consists of 20 Vestas V150-4.2 MW wind turbines, while Apricena features 4 Vestas V105-3.0 MW wind turbines. Both projects are located in southern Italy, with the electricity generated to be purchased by Terna, Italy’s national grid operator.
