Enel, Portoscuso Town Sign Agreement to Develop Renewable Energy Resources

Posted on: Thursday, 16 October 2008, 06:00 CDT

Enel and the town of Portoscuso, in Sardinia, have signed a program agreement for the implementation of new industrial initiatives designed to foster the economic development of the area, with a special focus on renewable energy resources.

The primary initiative envisaged under the accord is the construction of a wind plant with a total capacity of about 90MW in the town's industrial zone. The facility will comprise 30 wind turbines with a capacity of 2.3MW each, which will be supplied to Enel by Siemens.

According to Enel, it is committed to acting as the town of Portoscuso's main partner in energy, undertaking initiatives on renewables with an emphasis on developing the area's wind power potential. The Sardinian town will therefore consider Enel as a partner in the energy field for its activities.

Enel is also planning to promote the use of renewable energy through the installation of photovoltaic and thermal solar plants on municipal buildings.

This agreement forms part of Enel's broader commitment to developing renewable energy resources, which led to the creation of the renewable energy division, which incorporates all the group's activities in the wind, solar, geothermal and mini-hydro field in Italy and abroad, with a total installed capacity of about 4,300MW.
