This agreement will allow us to expand our presence in Sicily, consolidating our role as a national player in the energy transition”, comments Lorenzo Giussani, A2A's Head of Generation and Trading.

"We are pleased to partner with A2A for this project in Italy, which showcases the reliability of our 4 MW platform. In combination with a long-term service agreement, this ensures maximum value for our customer's business case, while contributing to the sustainable development of the Italian energy mix", says Vestas head of Italy, Francesco Amati.

Turbine delivery is planned by the first quarter of 2023 while commissioning is expected by the second quarter of 2023.
