Meeting on the V.I.A. - Episode nr. 4
Meeting with Margherita Latronico and Marilena Di Stefano from VESTAS
Wind farms are a fundamental asset in the production of renewable energy. Vestas tells us about which targets offshore wind energy production must reach. How do you go about designing a wind farm? Multi-year monitoring is needed to verify the impact on biodiversity, the landscape and the social context. We are talking about 200m high towers with new generation turbines, slow rotation and low noise emissions, with video camera and radar systems connected to acoustic deterrents for fauna. There is also talk of a circular economy, to have zero waste by 2040 in the wind power production chain (design, operations and recovery of materials) and give clean energy to families.
