The turbines with a rated output of 3 MW and a rotor diameter of 122 metres will be delivered to the wind farm Brienza in Basilicata. With its total rated output the wind farm will produce enough energy to supply around 10.000 households with electricity every year.
With a total hub height of 90 meters, the 3.0M122 will be the first one of this type in Italy.
“Our 3.XM series perfectly corresponds to the wind conditions especially in Southern Italy," said Carlo Schiapparelli, managing director of Europe South-East at Senvion. "We are looking forward to realize many more projects in and for Italy, together with our strong local partners.”
The big rotor guarantees a high conversion of wind into electrical energy. The 90-metre steel towers will be manufactured in Italy. Planned delivery of the turbines is summer 2015 and in order to complete the service for Brienza wind park, Senvion will also provide maintenance for five years after testing.
Francesco Esposito, director and founder of PLC System, said “with Brienza’s wind farm, PLC confirms its will to strengthen and improve its position in the renewable energy sector both in Italy and abroad by pursuing an independent project development and asset acquisition strategy.
"We are proud to have Senvion and Banca Popolare di Bari as reliable partners on our side,” Esposito said.
The wind farm that is financed by Banca Popolare di Bari will work at full capacity by the end of the year and is PLC’s first Wind Energy project.
