Stefano Goberti, CEO of Plenitude, said: “This acquisition will allow us to exceed 2GW of net installed capacity and, in line with the targets announced to the market, we expect to reach more than 6GW in 2025. Such growth supported by a pipeline of 13GW of solar and wind projects and by strategic and synergic agreements such as the one we are announcing today”.
Plenitude said that it intends to exceed 15GW of installed capacity by 2030. This acquisition is pending customary approvals before coming into effect.
Earlier this year, the company announced a partnership with independent power producer Infrastrutture to develop 1.5GW of solar and wind across Italy and Spain.
