The Kouloukonas wind farm includes six wind turbines each with a capacity of 0.85MW.

The wind power project is expected to deliver about 9.5 million kWh annually, therefore meeting the energy needs of 2,300 households.

The clean electricity generated by the plant will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 10,500 tonnes CO2 per year.

The 5MW Kouloukonas wind farm is expected to bring Enel Green Power’s total installed capacity in the country to 186MW.

The company said its wind facilities with total capacity of 172MW are mainly located in Thrace, but also in Macedonia, Peloponnese, Evia, Crete and Dodecanese islands.

In addition, the company operates small hydro power plants in Central Greece, Western Greece and Thessaly for a total installed capacity of 14MW.
