MADRID, Spain — Renantis and BlueFloat Energy have started the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process for Kailia Energia, their second floating offshore wind project.
The location is off the coastline of southeastern Italy between Brindisi and San Cataldo. Recently, the same partnership submitted their EIA for the nearby Odra Energia development to Italy’s Ministries of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) and Culture.
The documents cover the predicted impacts of the development and will be made published over the next few weeks on the MASE Environmental Assessment online portal for consultations.
Kailia Offshore involves the installation of up to 78 floating wind turbines with a projected capacity of 1,170 MW and production of about 3.4 billion kWh/year. The estimated overall cost is close to Eur4 billion ($4.36 billion).
