The 250 MW 7SeasMed Floating Offshore Wind Venture has been granted EIA approval by the Italian Ministry for Setting and Power Safety, which lead developer Copenhagen Offshore Companions (COP) says is the primary such approval for a floating offshore challenge within the nation.
The challenge, to be positioned roughly 35 km off Sicily’s coast, is owned by a consortium that additionally consists of GreenIT, a three way partnership between Plenitude and CDP Fairness, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Companions.
“We’re delighted to obtain EIA approval for the 7SeasMed floating offshore wind challenge off the coast of Sicily,” says Michele Schiavone, COP Italy CEO and challenge CEO for 7SeasMed. “This represents a major achievement in our mission to speed up the power transition and fight local weather change. The challenge underscores our dedication to pioneering revolutionary options that steadiness power wants with environmental stewardship.”
The challenge is an element of a bigger 3 GW offshore wind portfolio in Italy owned by the GreenIT and CIP partnership, and of which COP serves as lead improvement associate.
