The project stipulates the installation of nineteen wind towers, with a capacity of approx. 16 MW, capacity which contributes to the development of the programme established by the Energy Plan of Basilicata Region for the sources of reusable energy. The aeolian wind farm consists not only in aeolian towers that transform the wind energy into electric energy, but also in the realization of fundamental infrastructures such as: an underground network for collecting the energy produced; an electrical substation for that should tie the energy produced in the latter to the national distribution network. As a whole, the project stipulates: -The preliminary study of the places that will undergo the intervention; the identification of the issues present there and a thorough look at the places; -The setting up of more than 50 m high towers with a tubular supporting structure, and anchored for debit in the soil through indirect foundations of 22 m depth; -The setting up of electrical cabins containing the electrical frames for protecting and transforming the energy produced; -The realization of the access to the towers viability, the systematization of the spaces and the integration in the viability existent near the installations. -The realization of an underground cable connecting the installation and the electrical substation of assignment. -The realization of the electrical substation for the energy transformation of 20 KV into150 KV and for introducing it into the network of national distribution. Characteristics of the work: -The height of the towers: 55 m -The diameter of the towers base: 3,40 m -The rotor diameter: 56 meters -The air-generator capacity: 0,85 MW -The length of the cable at 20 KV: 11 Km -Assigning substation: energy transformation of 20 KV into150KV, through a transformer working on 16A oil.
