Saipem and Divento partnership have signed a collaboration agreement involving the application of STAR 1, Saipem's proprietary technology for floating wind, for two planned offshore wind projects in the Mediterranean Sea.
Divento is a partnership between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), GreenIT, a joint venture between Eni’s Plenitude and CDP Equity (CDP Group), 7 Seas Wind Power and NiceTechnology,
The agreement will support the participation of 7 Seas Med projects in Sicily and Ichnusa Wind Power in Sardinia in the first auctions for Italian government’s incentives to be allocated for innovative renewable energy plants and those featuring innovating and reduced impacts on the environment and the land.
Saipem was selected after a competitive technical-economic feasibility procedure.
STAR 1 is a technology developed for the making of semi-submersible floating wind foundations, said to be able to offer a light industrial solution, easy to build, assemble and maintain.
The 7 Seas Med floating wind project, located in the Strait of Sicily over 35 km from the coast, with a capacity of 252 MW and a yearly production of about 800 GWh, is the first of its kind in Italy to receive the environmental compatibility decree from the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security.
