The order consists of the Andretta-Bisaccia project that will feature five V150-5.6 MW EnVentus wind turbines and twelve V150-4.5 MW turbines as well as the Rocchetta project that will include four V136-4.5 MW turbines. Both projects will be supported by a 10-year operation and maintenance service agreement, ensuring optimal performance and reliability throughout their lifecycle.

“Signing the frame agreement with Edison and securing the first two firm projects totaling 102 MW marks an important step in strengthening our long-standing partnership and we deeply appreciate Edison’s trust and collaboration. These projects also demonstrate the flexibility of Vestas’ product portfolio and our ability to combine different rotor sizes and power ratings to maximise value for our customers,” said Francesco Amati, General Manager, Vestas Italy.

“The continuous technological modernisation of our plants is essential to achieving the objectives of the energy transition. At Edison, we are leaders in repowering processes in Italy and, thanks to our agreement with Vestas, a highly reliable partner with extensive know-how, we are accelerating our growth in renewables. Through new technologies, we will double the amount of green energy produced and drastically reduce the number of wind turbines, with clear benefits in terms of harmonising our assets with the landscape," said Fabio Lamioni, CEO of Edison Rinnovabili.

Turbine delivery and commissioning are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The order also reinforces Vestas’ leadership in the country’s wind energy sector, where it has installed over 6 GW since 1991.
