RWE has completed the commissioning of the 54 MW San Severo wind farm in Italy, consisting of 12 turbines, each with a capacity of 4.5 MW, supplying green electricity to 55,000 Italian households.
Katja Wunschel, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, highlighted the successful year with milestones in renewables, including the construction of the Mondonuovo wind farm, Bosco solar farm, and investment decisions for Morcone and Acquafredda agri-PV plants, aiming to support Italy’s net zero target by 2040.
RWE engaged local communities in San Severo through a €200,000 community funding initiative, offering residents investment opportunities with returns of up to 9% gross per annum.
The company, a key player in Italy’s renewables market, operates 16 onshore wind farms with a capacity of 527 MW, supplying green electricity to 400,000 households annually.
