The floating offshore wind farms will be located nearly 30km off the coasts of Latium and Sardinia.

In Latium, a 540MW floating offshore wind facility will be developed off the coast of Civitavecchia, and in Sardinia, two floating wind farms will be developed off the coast of Olbia with around 500MW and 1GW capacities each.

Upon completion, the three projects together will produce around 5TWh of clean energy annually and are expected to come online between 2028 and 2031.

The clean energy generated by the three wind facilities will be sufficient to meet the electricity consumption of around 2.5 million households.
