In addition to Serra Giannina, RWE is constructing three other major onshore wind farms in Italy: Serra Palino (47 MW) in Apulia, Venusia (45 MW) in Basilicata, and the Alas wind farm (66 MW) in Sardinia.

Sopna Sury, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, said, “Thanks to Serra Giannina we now have 200 megawatts of onshore wind capacity under construction across Italy. This is impressive and underlines our intention to grow further in Italy and support the country’s energy transition. Onshore wind is one of the most cost-competitive energy sources and an important pillar to shape a resilient energy system.”
