The Fraine wind farm has been active since 2002 and has 15 triblade wind turbines expressing a unitary capacity of 0.6 MW, adding up to a total installed capacity of 9 MW. The energy produced by each wind turbine is collected at MV by means of an underground cable network. An underground duct connects the MV/LV cabins, and then goes on to the Electrical Station in Monteferrante, where the energy is transformed and enters the public grid at 150 kV voltage.
