“We are proud to partner once again with E2i Energie Speciali, a key company for the development of wind energy in Italy, and one of our longer-lasting customers in the country. Their wind projects have featured many Vestas turbine variants, and with this order we once again showcase how Vestas’ technology continues to offer winning solutions to our customers in the Italian auctions”, says Vestas Vice President Sales Region Southern Europe and Turkey, Rainer Karan.
With this project, Vestas has secured more than 1.3 GW of contracts derived from auctions in Italy, where it has installed over 4.3 GW since 1991, accounting for more than 40 percent market share.
