Onshore wind sites in Italy

How Gridscouter ranks Italian substations for onshore wind, from the Apennines to the islands.

The market

Most Italian wind is in the south and on the islands. Repowering older farms with fewer, larger turbines is a growing opportunity.

How Gridscouter ranks wind sites

Substations are scored on wind resource, grid voltage, existing wind nearby and open land. The land finder keeps a 500 m buffer from buildings.

Where to look

Puglia, Campania, Basilicata, Sicily and Sardinia have the most wind today, with ridge sites in the Apennines.

Note

Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
