8,769 kW Italian Hydro Power Plants Portfolio HPP (RTB)

The portfolio consists of three run-of-river hydropower plants, currently in the final approval and construction planning phase.

• Total Installed Capacity: The combined capacity is 8,769 kW (8.77 MW).

• Annual Energy Production: The plants are projected to produce approximately 50 million kWh (50 GWh) per year.

• Catchment Area: The project benefits from a substantial catchment area of approximately 4,400 square kilometers, characterized by favorable annual precipitation levels.

Each of the three power plants features a standardized technical design and high-quality components to ensure efficient operation.

• Turbines: Each plant is equipped with two double-regulated Kaplan turbines.

• Nominal Output: Each turbine has a nominal output of 1,453 kW, totaling approximately 2.923 MW per plant.

• Generators: The system uses two 1,560 kVA 3-phase synchronous generators per plant.

• Grid Connection: Units connect to the medium-voltage grid through dedicated 1,700 kVA transformers.

• Control Systems: The plants utilize PLC (Siemens S7-1500) control units, SCADA systems, and VPN-based remote control for optimized management.

• Environmental & Generation Authorizations: Environmental impact assessments and power generation authorizations are already complete.

• Water & Building Permits: Water abstraction licenses and the final building permit (comprehensive authorization) are expected to be finalized by mid-2025.

• Grid Integration: Preliminary talks with the primary grid operator have been initiated, with connection points located in the immediate vicinity of the sites.

• EBITDA: Estimated at approximately €5.0 million.

• Feed-in Tariff: 110 € per MW under the current tariff structure (FER-X).

• Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE): 0.1026 €/kWh.
