Germany-based wind OEM Senvion has signed an exclusivity agreement with renewables operator Belenergia to supply turbines to Italy’s first offshore wind project, a 30MW array off the Southern harbour of Taranto.

The project in water depths of four to 18 meters off the region of Apulia will feature ten of Senvion’s 3.0M122 machines adapted for offshore use, each with a hub height of 100 meters.
