Qair, a leading renewable energy company, has taken a significant step in its expansion across Italy by inaugurating its first fully developed solar photovoltaic park in the country . Located in the Marrubiù industrial estate, in the province of Oristano, Sardinia, this plant has a capacity of 8.2 MWp and is designed to generate 12.7 GWh of renewable energy per year. This amount of energy is enough to supply around 3,000 homes and avoid the emission of 350 tonnes of CO₂ each year.
First solar park developed by the company in Italy
This project marks a step forward in the company’s growth in the clean energy sector in Italy. Although the company already had an installed capacity of 21 MW in the country, this is the first solar plant that has been fully developed by it , standing out for its size and also for its integration with local communities.
The Marrubiù solar plant was authorised in 2021 and construction began in June 2023. The facility is located on municipal land, which will benefit the community with rental income from the land for the next 30 years. This agreement reinforces Qair’s commitment to local economies and long-term sustainability.
Boosting energy transition in Sardinia
I am delighted with this launch, an important step for Qair in Italy. We thank the municipality of Marrubiù and the region of Sardinia for their trust and support, allowing us to move towards a greener and more self-sufficient future in the highlands.
Emmanuel Macqueron, CEO of Qair Italia, said:
This project adds to Qair’s portfolio of renewable projects in Italy, which also includes the 12.5 MW Garessio wind farm in Piedmont. With plans to begin construction of an additional 95 MW of solar projects by 2025, Qair continues to consolidate its presence in the Italian market, with a pipeline of 1.5 GW of projects under development, including wind, solar and renewable hydrogen.
A model of sustainability and efficiency
The launch of this solar park is a clear example of the company’s comprehensive approach to the development of renewable energy projects. From financing to construction and operations, the company manages the entire value chain, ensuring the efficiency and durability of its projects. Furthermore, this solar plant not only represents an improvement in the region’s energy capacity, but is also a model of harmonious integration with the environment and local communities.
