ItalyThe Project comprises a 2.52 MWp plant with bifacial modules on single-axis trackers and a 2.50 MW grid injection capacity, with an accepted medium-voltage grid connection solution from the local distribution system operator (DSO) and the land secured through preliminary surface-rights agreements.
Construction is currently scheduled to start in Q1 2027. The opportunity is suited to IPPs, infrastructure and energy-transition funds, and industrial investors seeking a mid-size, near-construction position in the Italian solar market.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
20 kV MV connection solution issued by the DSO, amended to an underground-cable route and accepted in May 2024; 30% of the connection fee already paid and the detailed design of the grid works (PTO) submitted in November 2024.
3,528 bifacial monocrystalline 715 Wp modules on single-axis trackers, 8 × 320 kW string inverters and a 1,600 kVA transformer, delivering a specific yield of c. 1,460 kWh/kWp.
the plant occupies c. 1.06 ha of a c. 4.8 ha site (c. 22% coverage) on land zoned as building land, reducing land-use and landscape sensitivities.
total CAPEX of c. €2.28m (c. €0.91/Wp), with annual operating costs of c. €65k.
expected revenues of c. €313k p.a. and EBITDA of c. €248k p.a. (c. 79% margin) based on Seller estimates.
Italy’s National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) targets c. 80 GW of installed solar PV by 2030, underpinning demand for construction-ready capacity.
