The Vlorë Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm in Albania. It will have 250 individual wind turbines with a nominal output of around 2 MW each, which will deliver up to 500 MW of power.[1]
The project, which has already been approved by the Albanian government, will have a total generating capacity of 500 megawatts. Europe's biggest onshore wind farm, currently under construction in Scotland, will have a generating capacity of 322 MW.
It will also includes the construction of a transmission line between the Italian city of Brindisi and the Albanian port of Vlora. The 400 kV power cable, stretching 145 km across the Otranto channel under the Adriatic Sea at a depth of over 900 metres, will allow for electricity to be transmitted in either direction between the two countries.
The wind farm is expected to be located on the Karaburun peninsula close to the city of Vlora, a former military installation, off limits to the public, during Albania’s communist regime.
