Giardino is GreenGo’s seventh project to secure a favourable authorisation or environmental ruling since the start of 2026, bringing the company’s total approved capacity for the year to 96.1 MW. The project builds on recent achievements in wind power with La Motta (12 MW) and Cantone (15 MW), authorised in Puglia: the three initiatives together account for 36 MW of new wind power capacity authorised in 2026.
The decision was adopted by the Calabria Regional Government via Executive Decree No. 18759 of 3 November 2026, following the opinion expressed by the Technical Assessment Body at its meeting on 29 October. The decree issues a favourable assessment of environmental compatibility, subject to certain conditions, as part of the procedure initiated for the granting of the Single Authorisation.
The progress of the Giardino project also consolidates GreenGo’s industrial presence in Calabria, where the company recently connected the two agrivoltaic plants, Margherita and Mortilla, to the grid, bringing GreenGo’s operational portfolio to a total capacity of 17 MWp.
The Giardino project involves the construction of two wind turbines, each with a capacity of 4.5 MW, for a total wind power capacity of 9 MW. The wind farm will be complemented by an electrochemical storage system with a nominal capacity of 3.5 MW, based on lithium-ion batteries using lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry. The design configuration comprises three BESS containers providing a total of 15 MWh of electrochemical storage. The design minimises the impact on the local area through the use of existing roads, underground cable ducts, the restoration of occupied areas, and specific measures for monitoring and protecting birdlife.
The estimated average annual net electricity generation for the wind farm is 21.2 GWh, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 7,850 households and capable of preventing the emission of over 4,400 tonnes of CO₂ each year.
“With Giardino, the capacity of wind projects that have made substantial progress towards obtaining planning permission during 2026 rises to 36 MW, bringing us close to a total of 100 MW since the start of the year” said Alberto Piva, Business Development and M&A Director at GreenGo. “This result confirms the quality of our proprietary pipeline: Calabria, together with Puglia and Campania, has a very strong potential for wind power without the grid constraints faced by regions such as Sardinia.”
GreenGo’s total approved capacity nationwide stands at approximately 770 MW, comprising wind farms, storage systems, photovoltaic and agrivoltaic installations. The company has a pipeline exceeding 2 GW, spread across 12 Italian regions and consisting of approximately 80 per cent proprietary projects.
