LEITWIND, a brand owned by LEITNER Spa and part of the prestigious HTI Group (High Technology Industry), stands as a leader in the Megawatt-class wind turbine sector (from 250 to 3,000 kW). Its specialization extends to custom design of wind farms for small-scale installations, as well as community self-consumption projects and small/medium enterprises, with the aim of reducing energy consumption costs.

Thanks to its constant customer-oriented approach and its range of products with proven technological efficiency, LEITWIND boasts over 400 wind turbines worldwide and has twenty years of experience in the sector. This approach has also allowed the company to develop consolidated expertise for installations on islands and remote sites, as evidenced by the repowering project on the island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. Four years ago, in this picturesque location, six LEITWIND LTW80 turbines of 1.65 MW each, belonging to the Typhoon class designed to withstand Caribbean hurricanes, were installed, representing a technological and logistical challenge for the company’s technicians.

The debut in Italian islands began in the summer of 2021, when LEITWIND installed its first wind turbine in Sardinia: the LTW77 plant (configured as 0.95 MW hh65m) is located in Luras (SS), northeast of the region.

This year will bring the installation of the first small wind farm consisting of 3 LTW90 model wind turbines with a nominal power of 1 MW in Sicily, the largest of the Italian and Mediterranean islands. Investments in Italy’s islands continue: another contract has just been signed for an installation in Sardinia, also in the province of Sassari. In this case, it involves the LTW90 model, which represents the company’s flagship product. The LTW90 model, available in configurations from 500 to 2,000 kW, is the flagship of the LEITWIND product range because, thanks to its large rotor surface, this model ensures high energy production even in areas characterized by low wind speeds.
