∞ Useful Life
25 years average lifetime
> Expected volume at end of life
considering the installed capacity¹:
-
970 MW before 2030
~ 1.700 MW 2031-35
~ 4.000 MW 2036-40
~ 11.000 MW after 2040

New Life Cycle
Current recyclability of WTGS
~ 80% (steel, alumiunium, copper
already fully recycled)
Estimated recyclability of WTGs
at 2025 90%
-
(improvement in the recycling of
fiberglass)
KEY INITIATIVES (examples)
New solutions for wind
1.
End of 2022.
Development of new materials more
sustainable, performing and
recyclable through collaboration with
start-ups and major players (e.g.
wood based tower with a potential
CO2 reduction per KWh of 90%).
Recycling plant for
wind blades
In Spain (capacity 8.000 tons/year), and
in Italy (capacity 3.000 tons/year)
With the aim of reusing recycled
fiberglass back into the wind
energy sector and other sectors
that may require such composites.
