Vestas recently received an order totaling 102 MW for two wind projects in Italy from long-standing partner Edison. The projects form part of a broader 400-MW frame agreement, with the remaining capacity to be confirmed and announced as it becomes firm and unconditional.
The order consists of the Andretta-Bisaccia project that will feature five V150-5.6 MW EnVentus wind turbines and 12 V150-4.5 MW turbines as well as the Rocchetta project that will include four V136-4.5 MW turbines. Both projects will be supported by a 10-year operation and maintenance service agreement, ensuring optimal performance and reliability throughout their lifecycle.
“Signing the frame agreement with Edison and securing the first two firm projects totaling 102 MW marks an important step in strengthening our long-standing partnership and we deeply appreciate Edison’s trust and collaboration,” said Francesco Amati, General Manager, Vestas Italy. “These projects also demonstrate the flexibility of Vestas’ product portfolio and our ability to combine different rotor sizes and power ratings to maximize value for our customers.”
“The continuous technological modernization of our plants is essential to achieving the objectives of the energy transition,” said Fabio Lamioni, CEO of Edison Rinnovabili. “At Edison, we are leaders in repowering processes in Italy and, thanks to our agreement with Vestas, a highly reliable partner with extensive know-how, we are accelerating our growth in renewables. Through new technologies, we will double the amount of green energy produced and drastically reduce the number of wind turbines, with clear benefits in terms of harmonizing our assets with the landscape.”
Turbine delivery and commissioning are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
