The projects have been acquired from Italian industrial infrastructure company Gavio Group, Rome-headquartered power producer Errenergia and finance group SO.CO.FIN, respectively.
Sonnedix also announced the acquisition of RGP Puglia 1 Srl and Florasolar Srl, four ground-mounted plants totalling 5MWp capacity, from TEP (Solar Holdings) Limited (TEP), a company headquartered in Ireland. TEP had previously sold 11MW of Italian PV plants to Sonnedix in 2016. Sonnedix said these acquisitions were in line with company strategy to expand its presence in markets in the 35 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries.
Sonnedix has made several recent project acquisitions in Spain and Italy and closed non-recourse refinancing of an 18.17MW portfolio of PV plants in that country at a total value of €74 million in September. The company recently also acquired a controlling interest in Cox Energy Chile, a subsidiary of Spanish firm Cox Energy.
