The wind farm is situated at about 1000 metres, high on the spurs of the Campania Apennines, on the borders of Apulia and Basilicata, in the council of Bisaccia (AV).
It is one of the first cases of repowering in a wind farm: the new infrastructure is, as a matter of fact, replacing some of the old twin blades turbines with limited power and which have been out of use for years.
The farm is installed with 22 modern wind turbine generators with 3 MW of power each, the height of the towers at the hub stand at 80 metres and have 90 metre length blades.
The area lends itself well to wind use: the Campania Apennine ridge is, indeed, hit by gusts of wind coming in from westerly/south-westerly and which are quite continuous and strong during the span of the differing seasons.
The wind farm is connected, through a substation transformer, to TERNA by antenna with the section from 150 kV to the new electricity station of 380 kV (set out in the Development Plan by the National Transmission Electricity Grid) to allow input into the same Grid for energy; produced both by the wind farm of WinBis, and by other sources of renewable energy production planned in the same macro-area, and which are in turn connected to an in-out system on the existing line of 380 kV “Matera – S. Sofia”.
