Sonnedix has acquired an 80MW solar plant in Sicily from Blunova.
The acquisition of the array follows a previous purchase of three sites from Blunova in southern Italy.
Agreements for a further six plants are expected to close during the first half of 2025, increasing Sonnedix’s operating capacity in Italy to nearly 800MW.
The 10 projects, totalling 250MW, are contracted under Italy’s Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) FER 1 auction round, providing a stable and guaranteed electricity price to Sonnedix’s customers over 20 years.
Sonnedix’s chief executive Axel Thiemann, said: “Today’s announcement is a big achievement in our growth strategy for Italy.
“By acquiring these plants, we’re on track to double our operating capacity in Italy, as the team focuses on optimising and converting our portfolio of renewable energy projects.
“Our deep knowledge of the Italian market and proven track record position us as the ideal owner of these assets, while also aligning with our goal to deliver clean, affordable, and reliable energy to Italian consumers.”
Sonnedix’s head of growth for Italy Giuseppe Maronna said: “The acquisition of these 10 plants, regulated under the Italian government’s renewable energy auction round, is key to our growth strategy in Italy, providing our customers with fixed, long-term prices for renewable energy.
“We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with the Carlo Maresca Group so we can continue to accelerate Italy’s energy transition.”
