A2A, through its subsidiary r2r, has signed an agreement with Vestas for the supply and installation of three V136-4.2 MW wind turbines in 4.0 MW operating mode and five V136-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW power optimised mode for the Matarocco greenfield wind park in Sicily.

The contract also includes an Active Output Management (AOM) 4000 agreement with Vestas for the maintenance and service of the wind park over the next 10 years.

The project will increase A2A’s installed wind power capacity in the country and add to Vestas’ more than 4.7 GW of wind capacity under construction or installed in Italy.

"The partnership with Vestas confirms the Group's desire to grow in renewables, in line with the strategy outlined in our 2021-2030 industrial plan. 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.
