Eni starts building 31MW solar plant in Sardinia
Italian oil giant Eni, through its subsidiary Eni New Energy, has started construction of a 31MW solar PV plant at the Porto Torres industrial site in Sassari on the island of Sardinia.
The Region of Sardinia authorised the project, which is located on a site of National Interest, an industrial area being redeveloped by another Eni company named Syndial, with what it has called "environmental remediation projects".
About 70% of the energy produced will be consumed by the companies operating at the industrial site.
The Porto Torres PV project will be completed by the end of 2019 and is the second plant built in Eni-owned industrial areas in Sardinia following the construction of the 26MW Assemini plant in 2018.

Solar Finance & Investment Europe
The business of solar is changing, as the industry scales up, technology, IT and new players to the market will add complexity. This sparks a host of opportunities such as co-location of solar and storage and the rise of unsubsidised solar projects as well as challenges which will question the very business model of European solar asset owners. Solar Finance & Investment Europe is the meeting place for institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, solar, wind and storage funds and large energy buyers to do business.
