Trina Solar’s International Systems Business Unit (Trina Solar ISBU) has signed a 15-year PPA with EGO, an Italian energy management company owned by the Shell Group.
The contract encompasses 9 projects, totaling 69MWp located across various regions in Italy.
These projects are currently under construction or nearing commencement in 2024 and 2025, expected to generate approximately 1000 jobs in 9 regions nationally.
Once operational, this portfolio is expected to generate 119 GWh annually, equivalent to electricity needs of 7,000 average-sized households.
Linhui Sui, president of Trina Solar ISBU, said: “We are very pleased to partner with EGO and the Shell Group to delivery green energy to their Italian clients, and to contribute to Italian government 65% target of electricity generated from renewable sources by 2030.”
Carlo Corallo, chief executive at EGO, said: “EGO is well positioned to capture this opportunity due to our specialism of managing energy produced from distributed sources and our well-established network of small asset owners.
“Our integration into Shell Energy Europe and its extensive trading capabilities have enabled EGO to capture an opportunity like this and deliver greater value over the longer term as solar generation grows across Italy
