Construction of a turbine tower at the Licata wpd wind farm
© wpd GmbHBremen (renewablepress) - wpd, one of the leading international planners and operators of wind farms and solar parks, has signed a ten-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Netherlands-based company LyondellBasell for the Italian onshore wind project Licata.
The Licata wind farm is located on the southern coast of Sicily and is currently under construction. The seven Vestas V150 turbines with a total capacity of 30 MW will generate around 79,000 megawatt hours of electrical energy per year, which corresponds to the electricity consumption of approximately 32,000 households. It is the first project from a 1.3 GW pipeline in Italy, which is realized by wpd.
By concluding this green power PPA, LyondellBasell, a leading international chemical company based in the Netherlands, is underlining its own ambitions for sustainable action.
“Partnering with wpd on the Licata wind project is a clear step forward in LyondellBasell’s journey to provide innovative, lower-carbon solutions,” said Chris Cain, LyondellBasell’s senior vice president, net zero transition strategy. “Securing reliable, onshore wind power for our Ferrara operations helps us accelerate our emissions reduction efforts while supporting the long-term growth of sustainable industrial practices in Italy.”
“As an experienced, reliable and competent partner for long-term power supply contracts, we offer customized solutions for climate-friendly economic activity at eye level. We are very pleased to have found a reliable partner in LyondellBasell and to be able to support them in their transition to a more sustainable future,” said Andreas Chollet, head of project development for Italy at wpd.
With a global project pipeline of 19,320 MW for onshore wind and 5,015 MW for photovoltaics, wpd has excellent prospects for further agreements for the long-term and sustainable supply of CO2-free energy to the economy.
