Renewable energy developer Hive Energy will sell 200MW worth of Italian agrivoltaic PV projects to GreenIT, a renewable energy joint venture between Italian energy provider Plenitude and investor CDP Equity.
The Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has said that it intends 65% of the country’s electricity generation to come from renewable energy by 2030.
European Energy (EE) has received a construction permit for a 250MW PV plant in Catania, Sicily. The company said that the installation will be the largest in Italy upon completion.
Enel Green Power’s 170MW PV plant in Tarquinia, which is integrated with medicinal herb, olive oil and livestock feed production, will also support biodiversity with borage used to attract bees.
Only one percent of land in Italy is suitable without limitations for ground-mounted solar PV projects in Italy, according to analysis company McKinsey.
