The Sclafani Bagni wind farms
The Sclafani Bagni plant, consisting of three wind farms, Ovest 1 (West 1), Ovest 2 (West 2) and Est (East), is located in the municipality of Sclafani Bagni in the province of Palermo. The 29 wind turbines provide a total capacity of approximately 23 MW, which is sufficient to meet the energy needs of 11,800 households.
The village of Sclafani Bagni, with approximately 400 residents, has a number of natural features that make it a very special place. In this village, famous for the thermal waters that have surrounded it since time immemorial, it’s still possible to bathe in a natural hot spring in the open countryside.

Impact on the community
Through our Centrali Aperte (Open Power Plants) project, which transforms Enel Green Power's renewable energy facilities into a space that we share with the local community for a day, the Sclafani Bagni wind farm has been opened to the public on several occasions. Special initiatives have been organized for children, in particular: for example "mini summer camps", which offered children an interesting social and educational experience at the facility – where they learned, among other things, the importance of living in a community and being part of a group.
