The 2.8 GW Med Wind floating wind project is proposed to be built 80 kilometres from the Sicilian coast at a site covering 850 square kilometres.
At the end of 2022, Renexia selected Technip Energies to perform FEED work for Med Wind. The scope of work covered the floating foundations and moorings for the wind turbines and the conceptual design for the floating offshore substations.
With a full installed capacity of 2.8 GW, the floating wind farm will be able to generate about 9 TWh of electricity per year, equal to the energy needs of 3.4 million households. The energy produced by Med Wind will be transmitted and distributed directly to Sicily.
