Enel Green Power’s Sa Turrina Manna Wind Farm stands at an elevation of nearly 700 meters on Mount Sa serra between the municipalities of Tula and Erula.
Its construction began in 2003 with the installation of 28 wind turbines to which 40 more were added in 2009.
With a total of 68 wind turbines, the park is now one of the largest installations of its kind in Italy.
When fully operational, it produces about 126 million kilowatt-hours per year, enough to cover the needs of about 46,000 households – slightly less than half the inhabitants of Sassari – avoiding the emission of 94,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and the consumption of about 47,000 tons of oil equivalent per year.
The park is accessible to the public, and along the path through it are several rest areas equipped with children’s games and picnic facilities.
From Mount Sa Serra, visitors can admire the varied panorama of Lake Coghinas and the forest compendium.
