Two Lagerwey 30/200 turbines had already been installed in Melfi, but over time, their output dropped below expectations.
That's where Ecoways came in.
The new rotor blades were pre-assembled and balanced on the ground to prevent vibration during operation.
They were then transported with the hub to the site and mounted directly onto the gondel.
Both the old Lagerwey turbines and the new WES systems have two rotor blades - a clear advantage during assembly.
The rotor and blades are pre-assembled on the ground and then lifted as a single unit onto the gondel using one crane.

In 2020, both Lagerwey turbines underwent a complete modernization. They received new WES rotor hubs, rotor blades, and a new control system, bringing them technically up to the level of the WES 30/200 model.
Each turbine now features a 30-metre rotor diameter and a maximum power output of 200 kW.
Thanks to integrated SCADA monitoring, both systems can be checked anytime, anywhere.
