Edison is committing €200 million to repower its onshore wind portfolio in Italy, with output more than doubling once the upgrade is complete, per Reuters. The project is one of the larger single-company repowering commitments disclosed in European wind this year and signals growing operator appetite for asset-life extension over greenfield development where permitting constraints bite.

In Germany, ABO Energy won contracts in three consecutive federal onshore wind auctions, per Renews.biz. The hat-trick cements the developer's position as a consistent bidder in a market where auction competition has tightened. The company is separately advancing project sales in Germany and internationally.

In Serbia, Sany broke ground on a 168 MW onshore wind farm: the first project the Chinese turbine maker is developing as an independent power producer outside its home market. Off Wales, the 1.5 GW Gwynt Glas floating wind project filed its scoping report this week; the full planning application is pencilled in for 2028. Equinor, meanwhile, exited yet another offshore wind market following its earlier decision to abandon its renewables capacity target, per Recharge News. Details of the specific market were not available in the headline data.
