Italy to Enhance Ports for Offshore Wind Energy

Italy has announced an imminent decree to enhance coastal ports for offshore wind energy projects. The decree, already signed by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) and the Ministry of Culture (MIC), awaits final approval from the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). It identifies Augusta and Taranto as priority sites, with Brindisi and Civitavecchia as additional sites for developing infrastructure to support offshore wind energy. This initiative aims to reduce costs, improve competitiveness, and foster economic development in coastal communities, contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon energy model.
