Enel kicks off wind power production

The first wind farm of Italy’s Enel in Bulgaria was officially put into operation on Monday. The project is carried out by the company’s arm for renewable energy, Enel Green Power.
The farm is located at Kamen Bryag in the municipality of Kavarna and can generate more than 56 million kWh of power. With 21 mW of installed capacity it will supply electricity to 19,000 households. The project will save 50,000 t of carbon dioxide emissions a year, the company said.
The wind farm consists of 7 turbines for 3 mW each on nearly 70 ha of land. Another wind farm for 21 mW is under construction in Shabla. The company plans to put it into operation by this year’s end.
