Italy's second-biggest power utility Edison has bought a 26-megawatt wind park in southern Italy from Spain's Gamesa Energia SA as it aims to boost its green energy clout, Edison said.

Edison did not say how much it paid for 100 percent of the San Francesco wind park in Calabria which generates about 46 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, enough to meet demand of more than 18,000 households.
