The development was carried out with the support of US renewable energy company Novis Renewables, a partnership between Eni New Energy US and Renantis North America.

“We have inaugurated the largest PV plant ever built by Plenitude in our short but successful history of renewable energy development. It is a further step towards growing our renewable generation capacity, which exceeded 2GW at the end of 2022, in line with our goal to achieve over 6GW globally by 2025,” said Stefano Goberti, CEO of Plenitude.
