Renexia looked not only at the sustainability and feasibility of the Project but also at its future. For this reason, it commissioned a socio-economic impact study, constantly updated, capable of indicating the effects on employment and the impact on productive sectors at national and regional levels. With these results, it signed a Framework Agreement at the regional level with the Sicilian Region trade unions of CGIL, Cisl, Uil, and Ugl, based on the principles of legality, safety, and continuous training.

The Company has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Municipalities of Marsala, Petrosino, and Mazara del Vallo aimed at promoting innovative and environmentally and community-friendly technological solutions in the area. The protocol provides for energy efficiency studies for the creation of energy communities, electrification projects for law enforcement vehicles and port docks, and joint initiatives aimed at raising awareness of the environment and ecological transition, such as the collection of plastic at sea.

Renexia was the first company in the sector in Italy to commission a preliminary study on the impact of the plant on the fishing sector and to commit to establishing a dedicated Technical Table at national and regional levels, also to reach the definition of a Framework Agreement. The agreement aims to define development projects that guarantee long-term industrial and environmental investments for the Sicilian fishing sector, with the intention of safeguarding fishing activities for the coming decades, while contributing to reducing the carbon footprint of fleets and port infrastructures. The results of these studies, the challenges, and opportunities opened by Med Wind have been presented to the public as part of three Goletta Verde campaigns and numerous conferences, meetings, and workshops on a local and national scale.

Renexia has not only planned for the life cycle of the Med Wind park but also for its decommissioning, the end of life. After 25 years of activity, in fact, the plant will be entirely dismantled and its components almost entirely recycled. No trace of its existence will remain in the marine ecosystem and seabed, which will be returned to the community even richer in biodiversity.

Italy is facing an epochal turning point that would allow it to seize an opportunity for leadership at the European level and in a global perspective, regaining, also in the energy sector, the central role that its position in the Mediterranean has always assigned to it. Med Wind has all the characteristics, in terms of geographical location, size, and technological innovation, to trigger the conditions for the development of a specialized supply chain in Italy and initiate the necessary partnerships to make this turning point a reality.
