One of the energy perspectives in the most pursued in the world is the offshore wind , that is, in the midst of the sea. Zero disturbance to the citizenship and winds impetuous. It happens for example in the North Sea or the baltic coast of Denmark. Also would it be possible to extract electricity from the wind of the sea, with a central made of 59 “windmills” in the midst of all’The adriaticoff Rimini and Catholic. The total value of the investment, according to estimates: one billion all-inclusive. Power expected, 330 megawatts.

The idea of posing 59 “fans” off of the divertimentificio romagna of the company for the purpose of Energy Wind 2000 consists of two specialized companies of the wind farm, i.e. the farm of foggia Fortore and the 3R Energy Riccardo Ducoli. It is not the first attempt, and in the past were dared similar projects in the sea of Gela, in italy’s Molise region, Puglia. None of the projects ever came to the realization.

The Province is in agreement

The project was imagined by the Province of Rimini, about fifteen years ago when the wind farm in the sea seemed science fiction. The years have passed – the time of the investment in the segment of the energy measured in blocks of five years at a time – but the Province still continues to flatter the idea. In fact, the province has recently organized several public meetings to present the project.

But even then, fifteen years ago, the Province had decided to study in the project, and on the platform Azalea oil company, which extracts methane from the deposits, 15 kilometres off the beaches of the romagna was put an anemometer, that is a gauge of the wind, to collect data on the quality of the breezes. Examined every breath is the breath, the Province made an agreement with the Energy company Wind 2000.

The rigmarole of permissions

Last year, the company has obtained from the Triad, the possibility to connect the central future to the adriatic line of high voltage. Two months ago I have been asked the single authorisation and the ministry of Infrastructure and transport, the public domain concession for 30 years on the arm of the sea (the competence of the Region and stops at the shore). The project was also delivered to the other ministries involved, such as economic Development and the Environment.
