1. - Wind turbines “VARESE LIGURE”
https://cleantechnica.com/2014/01/09/varese-ligure-italy-small-town-high-renewables/
- Wind turbines “ROVERAZZA (MELE)”
The largest wind turbines in Northern Italy, nearly one hundred metres of the tower
was officially opened, a hundred and fifty the total height, a turbine E101 3 MW,
produced by ENERCON. The plant will produce clean energy equivalent to twice the
needs of private users of the small town on the heights of Voltri. The energy
produced will be sold to the private company Enel, which funded the project, while
the City of Apples will be 3% of annual profits.
2. - Wind turbines “ RIVOLI VERONESE”
The wind farm consists of 4 wind turbines of 2 megawatts (MW) each for a total
capacity of 8 MW. It will produce 16 million kilowatt hours for years equal to the
energy needs of about 18,000 people. Climate change due to global warming is one
of the problems that humanity will face in the third millennium. The wind power
plant of Rivoli Veronese will make a significant contribution to this step and will save
almost 3,000 tons of oil equivalent per year, reducing 7,300 tons of carbon dioxide
emissions into the atmosphere. The project was developed and designed in detail so
as to limit the impact on the territory, mitigate and compensate them. On this
aspect, once the construction site, it will restore the land on pitches and the passing
areas and will proceed to restore the habitat and the colonization of the tree species
typical of the area. It will also proceed to the redevelopment of so-called 'dry
meadows' adjacent to the implant with the planting and the regret of wild orchids.
In the vicinity of the wind farm it will be built a bike path that will connect to the
existing one that runs along the Biffis channel, in addition to the creation of a
specially dedicated educational tour.

3. - Wind Farm “VALBORMIDA A CAIRO MONTENOTTE”
The wind farm of Cairo Montenotte, with its six machines, has the largest wind park
in Liguria (4.8 MW total rating). Both the design and the building is a lot of care to
the environmental aspects, the development of the area is given, involving in
building the European leading companies in their sectors. The electrical cabinets of
Cairo wind farms, for example, were made in the style that characterizes the
cabanas for agricultural equipment in the area, as well as to better integrate these
anthropic structures with the environment and impact as quickly as possible on the
landscape.

4. - Wind Farm “Stella”
This is a 800 kW tower, added to the other three with the same power in operation
since 2007 in the territory of the municipality of Stella, Savona. The wind farm "Five
stars", the first built by FERA in Liguria, has a rated output of 3.2 MW. Since 2007,
the wind farm "Five Star" produced around 24,000 MWh of clean energy, avoiding
the emission of over 15,000 tonnes of CO2 and consumption of 17,000 barrels of oil,
saving for national economic balance of over 1.3 million euro. Throughout his life,
the park will avoid the import of a super-tanker of 200,000 tons and the emission of
150,000 tons of CO2.

5. - Wind turbines “Montoggio”
It will produce 140,000 kilowatt hours for year, transforming the wind into
electricity. And the new 24 meters high wind turbine will be inaugurated by the City
of Montoggio which funded the plant of renewable energy, produced by the
company Air. The turbine is expected to generate for the city administration a net
profit of around EUR 15,000 per year, fully paying back its cost in 15 years.
