Expressions of interest from the port authorities for the development of shipbuilding in order to create the offshore wind technological chain in our country can be sent from today. In fact, the public notice to realize the production of wind energy at sea through suitable infrastructures has been published on the website of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security.
As required by Energy Decree 181 of 2023, at least two ports in the South must be identified which fall within the port system authorities or port areas adjacent to those in which the gradual elimination of the use of coal is underway. Expressions of interest must detail, among others, the proposed activities, the implementation times and the technical-economic feasibility of the interventions.
"This is", explains Minister Gilberto Pichetto, "a first important intervention by the Government to implement our decree which incentivises the production of energy from offshore wind farms, contributing in an innovative way to decarbonisation and the energy transition".
