It has been reported that Med Wind is one of the biggest renewable energy projects planned for the Mediterranean Sea. The plant will have 190 floating turbines.
A report mentioned that “Fugro will provide Renexia with detailed marine geophysical and environmental surveys, deploying state-of-the-art equipment and specialised personnel to acquire comprehensive geo-data.”
General director for Renexia Riccardo Toto was quoted in a statement, "Med Wind is one of the most innovative renewable energy projects in Europe and, as such, we need strong partners to support us on this journey.”
He further stated that Fugro will join hands with their team of international professionals to help achieve Italy's sustainable development goals.
