OWR 2026 moves to Taranto: Magellan Circle announces the new edition of Italy’s leading offshore wind event

Magellan Circle officially announces that OWR – Offshore Wind
Revolution, the leading Italian event for operators in the offshore wind sector, will be held in
Taranto from 7 to 9 October 2026. After two successful editions hosted in Palermo, the
decision to move the initiative to Puglia represents a strategic step, consistent with the
evolution of the national supply chain and the growing centrality of the Ionian port in the
development of offshore wind power in the Mediterranean.
The 2026 edition will be organised with the support of the Ionian Sea Port Authority,
consolidating a model of collaboration between institutions, the port system and the
industrial fabric that is one of the distinctive features of OWR. Taranto is not only a new
venue, but also a strategic port for the future of offshore wind power in Italy: it is one of two
ports identified by the recent interministerial decree as a national priority centre for the
development of offshore shipbuilding hubs to support the marine renewable energy supply
chain, together with Augusta. This recognition gives Taranto priority in national industrial
policies and makes it eligible for funding dedicated to the development of the necessary
infrastructure – including quay upgrades, dredging and modernisation – for the production,
assembly and launch of components for offshore wind farms, for a total investment of €78
million spread over three years.
