Enel green unit adds 60 MW in Italy
SARDINIA, ITALY - Italy's biggest renewable energy company, Enel Green Power, has added 60 megawatts of new wind turbines to its wind park on Sardinia, it said.
With the new turbines, the total installed capacity of the wind park in northern Sardinia rises to 84 MW, making it Enel Green Power's biggest wind project in Italy, the unit of Italy's biggest utility Enel said in a statement.
The wind park would produce 126 million kilowatt hours of power a year which is enough to meet the needs of about 46,000 families and avoid 94,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, it said.
Enel Green Power, with 161 MW installed wind capacity on the island, plans to start work on another wind park in Sardinia this year with an expected capacity of 100 MW.
Enel Green Power has about 4,700 MW of installed wind, solar and other renewable capacity around the world.
