We're building our first onshore wind farm in Puglia, Southern Italy.
We are constructing the combined Castel Favorito and Masseria la Cattiva sites near Brindisi, Puglia, which will have an installed capacity of 17.3MW from five Siemens Gamesa 132-3.4 MW onshore wind turbines.
The project is being delivered by Parco Eolico Tramontana S.R.L., a wholly owned subsidiary of FTSE 100 listed company SSE Plc under SSE Renewables.
Construction began in April 2025 and we are targeting completion and reaching commercial operation in 2026.
Early construction work includes building foundations as well as enabling works for site access. Once these works are completed, work will begin on installing the turbines at the combined sites.
Italian firm Idoka Construzioni is the principal contractor. It is anticipated that around 70 construction roles will be supported at peak delivery, providing a boost for the local economy and supply chain in the Puglia region.
Delivery of the projects will help support the local economy and supply chain in Puglia, with around 70 construction roles expected to be supported at peak delivery.
