(Reuters) - Italy's Saipem has signed a collaboration agreement with Divento, a consortium led by Plenitude, CDP and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, for floating offshore wind projects in Italy, the companies said on Wednesday.
The aim of the deal is to apply Saipem's STAR 1 technology to the 7 Seas Med project in Sicily, with an anticipated annual output of around 800 GWh, and the Ichnusa Wind Power project planned for Sardinia, expected to produce approximately 1.6 TWh per year.
Both of those projects are still in the development phase.
The deployment of the STAR 1 technology, designed to make semi-submersible floating wind foundations, is aimed at supporting their participation in the first auctions for Italian innovative renewables technologies.
