What it takes to develop the largest floating offshore wind farm project in the world? 🌍 ⚡ 🌪
In this episode of RAW GREEN 🎤 🌵, Francesco De Lieto sits down with Pellegrino Guerriero, the engineering project manager of the MED Wind project in Italy (https://medwind.it/en/). 🇮🇹
Developed by Renexia Spa, with its 2.8 GW and over 190 turbines, MED Wind is the largest floating wind farm project in the world and a significant potential source of electricity for the country. ⚡
🚀 Developing floating wind farm projects poses challenges at every step, requiring a pioneering spirit, innovative thinking, and a great team. 🌟
With Pellegrino we will discuss what it takes to develop a project of this scale, including extensive surveys, environmental impact assessments, and collaboration with various stakeholders 🤝.
The project goes beyond mere energy production, implementing measures to protect marine life 🐟, such as using black blades to prevent bird collisions 🦅, sensors to track marine life 📡, and creating a foundation to involve fishermen in the project 🐠.

Wonderful news and big props to the team able to have turned this into a more sustainable reality! Regarding the reduction of emissions during the construction phase, we’d be interested in finding out how this donut-shaped foundation is able to make this happen. What makes this the more sustainable option? Also, how significant is significant, what’s the number and compared to what? Thanks in advance and keep up the brilliant work!
