(Taranto). Placement operations of the first Beleolico turbine (pictured) off the polysectoral pier have begun. This was announced by Renexia, the Toto Group company active in renewable energy in Italy and the United States, which is building in Taranto the first offshore wind farm in Italy and the entire Mediterranean. The plant will produce 60 thousand Mwh of green energy, equal to the annual needs of 60 thousand people. In environmental terms it means that, over its planned 25-year life, it will save about 730 thousand tons of Co2.
