Vestas has received an order totalling 102MW for two wind projects in Italy from long-standing partner
Edison. The projects form part of a broader 400MW frame agreement, with the remaining capacity to be confirmed and announced as it becomes firm and unconditional.
The order consists of the Andretta-Bisaccia project that will feature five V150-5.6MW EnVentus wind turbines and 12 V150-4.5MW turbines as well as the Rocchetta project that will include four V136-4.5MW turbines. Both projects will be supported by a 10-year operation and maintenance service agreement, ensuring optimal performance and reliability throughout their lifecycle.
Francesco Amati, general manager at Vestas Italy, said: “Signing the frame agreement with Edison and securing the first two firm projects totaling 102MW marks an important step in strengthening our long-standing partnership and we deeply appreciate Edison’s trust and collaboration. These projects also demonstrate the flexibility of Vestas’ product portfolio and our ability to combine different rotor sizes and power ratings to maximise value for our customers.”
Fabio Lamioni, CEO of Edison Rinnovabili, added: “The continuous technological modernisation of our plants is essential to achieving the objectives of the energy transition. At Edison, we are leaders in repowering processes in Italy and, thanks to our agreement with Vestas, a highly reliable partner with extensive know-how, we are accelerating our growth in renewables. Through new technologies, we will double the amount of green energy produced and drastically reduce the number of wind turbines, with clear benefits in terms of harmonising our assets with the landscape,”
Turbine delivery and commissioning are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 — the order reinforces Vestas’ leadership in the country’s wind energy sector, where it has installed over 6GW since 1991.
