Falck Renewables and BlueFloat Energy have unveiled the Tibula Energia floating offshore wind project off the north-eastern coast of Sardinia (Italy). The project, which is expected to generate 3.4 TWh/year, will include 62 floating wind turbines, positioned at a distance from the coast ranging from a minimum of 25 to a maximum of 40 km with a total installed capacity of 975 MW. Partners have already carried out exploratory research into local sea and wind conditions, environmental impacts and industrial infrastructures and submitted the request for a maritime concession; the authorisation process with the Ministry of Ecological Transition should soon.
In October 2021, the two companies released plans for two floating wind projects in Italy with a total capacity of 2.5 GW. The first project - Odra Energia - would be located off the southern coast of the province of Lecce (southern Italy) with a capacity of 1.3 GW. The second one - Kailia Energia - should be installed in the waters off Brindisi (Puglia) with a capacity of 1.2 GW.
