Sicily offers optimal conditions for the utilisation of wind energy. The Ennese wind farm is located some 30 km west of the city of Catania. Alpiq was already involved in the construction of the wind farm in 2006 in order to gain know-how relating to the development of wind energy. On the hills of Ramacca, Raddusa and Castel di Iudica, 47 turbines utilise wind energy and together generate an output of 70.5 MW.
