Swiss energy company BKW is investing 250 million francs to develop a new wind park in Southern Italy, citing faster project implementation compared to Switzerland. Currently, BKW operates several wind parks in Apulia, with plans for further expansion amid Italy’s growing reliance on renewable energy. Although challenges persist, such as local opposition in Sardinia and concerns about the mafia’s involvement in construction, BKW aims to help shift Italy away from fossil fuels. The project promises to create qualified jobs and enhance local economies, aligning with governmental goals for sustainable energy.
