ERG’s Clavarino says wind repowering needs grid, market fixes beyond faster permits
  • ERG business development head Alberto Clavarino urged broader measures to accelerate wind repowering, beyond faster permitting.
  • Italy’s repowering remains limited despite about 14 GW installed wind capacity, much of it built in 2005–2015.
  • Replacing older turbines can lift output without additional land use, raising capacity while reducing the total number of turbines.
  • Key constraints cited: grid availability, clearer prioritization of strategic projects, market design, long-term revenue visibility.
  • ERG has secured long-term tariffs for two Italian wind repowering projects totaling 141 MW; additional projects are progressing across Europe.
