Following the start of San Severo’s construction at the end of 2023, RWE has begun building another wind farm in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. During the construction phase, an average of 150 RWE employees and external experts will be involved. The project will feature nine turbines, each with a capacity of 5.9 MW. The 53 MW Mondonuovo wind farm is scheduled for commissioning in 2025.
Upon commissioning the San Severo and Mondonuovo projects in Apulia, RWE will generate enough onshore wind electricity to power over 500,000 homes in Italy with green energy. Additionally, RWE is currently constructing its first photovoltaic plant in Sicily.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said, “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.”
