Italy’s Enel Launches 70 MW Wind Farm in Romania

Enel Green Power, part of Italy's Enel Group, said it put into operation a 70 megawatts (MW) wind farm, Salbatica II, in southeastern Romania, bringing its total installed wind power capacity in the country to 174 MW.

The Salbatica II wind farm, located near Tulcea, is expected to generate around 200 million kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, enough to meet the power consumption needs of 66,000 households, Enel Green Power (EGP) said in a statement on Thursday.

"Salbatica II joins the first two EGP wind farms of Agighiol and Salbatica I. […] these plants will generate over 480 million kWh per year, enough to meet the needs of some 160,000 households as well as avoiding the emission of more than 200,000 tonnes of CO2 per year," it said.

Enel Group, present in Romania since 2005, has some 2.6 million clients in the country and 93,000 kilometres of power distribution network.
