Technip Energies has been chosen to perform front-end engineering and design for the 2.8-gigawatt Med Wind floating offshore wind project in the Mediterranean Sea. - UpstreamOnline

Italian renewable energy company Renexia, a subsidiary of Toto Group, chose Technip Energies for the FEED, which will cover 190 floating foundations and mooring for the wind turbines and the conceptual design for the floating offshore sub-stations off the west coast of Sicily.

Technip Energies will base the design on its in-house floater technology INO15, a three-column semi-submersible floater suited to large series production.

We are glad to support such a major development which will play a key role in achieving Italy’s ambitious renewable energies development plan and national decarbonisation goals.

Laure Mandrou, senior vice president of Carbon Free Solutions at Technip Energies

Renexia expects startup of the wind farm to begin in 2026. It anticipates the permitting phase to end by 2023 and the construction to be completed by the end of 2025.
