Enel buys Italian wind farms from Amec Foster Wheeler

Enel Green Power has completed the acquisition of 100% of Amec Foster Wheeler Power from Amec Foster Wheeler Italiana, owner of two wind farms in Italy’s southern region of Campania with a total installed capacity of 54.5 MW.

The two plants, which generate approximately 90 GWh per year, are located in the municipalities of Vallesaccarda (22.5 MW) and Scampitella (32 MW), in the province of Avellino and they have been in operation since 2006 and 2008 respectively.

The 54.5 MW of the plants acquired by Enel Green Power add to the approximately 718 MW of installed wind capacity currently operated by the company in Italy.

Enel Green Power and Amec Foster Wheeler Italiana signed a preliminary sale agreement in December 2016 before closing the transaction. Enel Green Power paid around 21 million euros for the acquisition.
