Following its success in the Italian onshore auction, RWE is to build its 17th wind farm in Italy. The future 25.2MW wind farm will be located in Sicily, where RWE already operates four wind farms.
The Italian government has granted a bilateral contract for difference (CfD) for the onshore project Selinus. RWE is constructing six Vestas wind turbines (type V136) with rated power of 4.2MW. RWE is investing over €30 million in the project. Selinus is scheduled to start generating electricity on a commercial scale in the last quarter of 2022.
