Repsol has announced its intention to develop renewable projects in Italy totalling 1768MW.
It has a portfolio in the country that, once fully operational, will add 943MW of wind and 825MW of photovoltaic solar facilities to the multi-energy company’s portfolio of renewable sites.
More than 60% of the projects in Italy are at an advanced stage of development, Repsol said.
With the aim of becoming a global player in renewable energy, Italy is one of the countries where Repsol has focused its international expansion as it offers great potential to strengthen the company’s position in markets that are key in Europe.
The acquisition of several projects, together with those acquired through the recent purchase of Asterion Energies in Italy, make up a portfolio located in the regions of Puglia, Lazio, Sardinia, Umbria, Sicily, Basilicata, Molise, and Tuscany.
The company plans to start construction of its first two photovoltaic solar plants in the country in due course.
They will have a capacity of 11MW and will be located in the Puglia region of southern Italy.
