GreenIT launched two solar parks in Piedmont, Italy, with a combined capacity of approximately 19 MW the facilities will produce approximately 30 GWh of electricity per year.
Two GreenIT solar parks become operational in Piedmont
The new plants are located in the provinces of Vercelli and Alessandria, their commissioning expands GreenIT renewable generation capacity in Italy and strengthens its presence in the country’s photovoltaic market.
GreenIT is a joint venture owned 51% by Plenitude, a company controlled by Eni, and 49% by CDP Equity, established in 2021, the company focuses on the development, construction, and operation of facilities for renewable energy in Italian territory.
Approximately 32,000 bifacial photovoltaic modules
The two parks have approximately 32,000 high-efficiency bifacial photovoltaic modules these panels are installed on structures with single-axis solar tracking systems. These systems adjust the orientation of the panels throughout the day to better utilize available radiation and optimize electricity production.
Another aspect of the projects is the use of land that was previously used for mining activities, before the plants were built, these areas were remediated and rehabilitated to accommodate the solar installations.
The project thus combines the addition of new photovoltaic capacity with the recovery of spaces previously used by other industrial activities.
GreenIT is preparing more solar capacity in Italy
The company maintains a portfolio of more than 300 MW of solar projects in an advanced stage of development with which it plans to expand its photovoltaic capacity over the next few years. In addition, it has around 30 MW under construction in Campania and Piedmont, these facilities are expected to come online between the end of 2026 and the first months of 2027.
These projects are part of the company’s strategy to increase renewable generation in Italy and contribute to the goals of the country’s Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for 2030.
Paolo Bellucci, CEO of GreenIT, highlighted the role of the two new plants in the company’s expansion plans:
The commissioning of these two plants represents an important step in GreenIT’s growth trajectory and reinforces our ambition to become one of the leading Italian operators in the solar and wind energy sector.
Paolo Bellucci, CEO of GreenIT.
Bellucci also reiterated the company’s commitment to the development of renewable energy generation and the advancement of Italy’s energy transition.
