Essen/Rome, 2 November 2026
Less than one year after construction start, RWE has commissioned its Serra Palino onshore wind farm in the Apulia region of southern Italy. The project is located in the municipalities of Sant'Agata di Puglia and Candela, in the province of Foggia. With a total installed capacity of 47.2 megawatts (MW), the wind farm comprises eight wind turbines of 5.9 MW each and is capable of generating enough green electricity to supply approximately 40,000 Italian households.
Sopna Sury, CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “The commissioning of Serra Palino less than a year after the start of construction is an achievement we can be truly proud of, and one that reflects the outstanding work of everyone involved. And we are not stopping there: today, we have around 200 MW of new wind and solar capacity under construction in Italy. This marks another step in our commitment to expanding renewables in Italy and contributing to an increasingly reliable and competitive energy system.”
