Encavis AG has acquired two ready to build solar projects in Italy from Hive Energy Ltd. (UK) and its partner Sunleonard Energy Ltd. The Cobu and Massarenti solar projects are located south of Ferrara in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. The solar projects will have a combined generation capacity of 18.4 MW and are set to begin construction shortly. Once online at the end of 2025, the two solar projects are expected to produce approximately 28 GWh of clean electricity per annum. Both solar parks will feature single-axis trackers to optimise energy generation. Ethical Power Italia S.r.l. will oversee the construction of both solar parks. Mario Schirru, Chief Investment Officer/Chief Operating Officer of Encavis AG, said: “Our Spanish solar parks, Fundici (55 MW, 2022) and La Florida (30 MW, 2024), which we acquired in recent years, form the basis of our successful collaboration with Hive Energy, which is now being continued with two new Italian projects. “The parks not only further expand our Italian portfolio but are also characterised by their strategic proximity to industrial PPA offtakers.” “We are delighted to conclude this third transaction with Encavis, which further reinforces our positive relationship with them by extending it from Spain to Italy,” noted Giles Redpath, CEO of Hive Energy. “It is also great to see our sister company Ethical Power, build on the successful completion of the Fundici project for Encavis, and expand its activity into the Italian market.” Stefano Salerno, Hive’s Italian Country Manager and Managing Director of Sunleonard, added: “I am incredibly proud to help bring these projects to fruition in my home town of Ferrara, especially as they are amongst the first projects to proceed in the Emilia-Romagna region. “Their successful development is testimony to the continued investment of Hive Energy in the region, and we look forward to bringing more projects forward over the coming year.” Encavis intends to secure a long-term pay-as-produced PPA with an industrial offtaker for the energy produced. #cleanenergy

German company Blue Elephant Energy GmbH (BEE) aims to finish construction work on a 100 MWp portfolio of solar PV projects in Q4 2024. BEE acquired the solar PV portfolio last September from Spanish project developer Diverxia, which is also the EPC on the assets, before entering the construction phase in December 203. As a result of the new projects, BEE’s Spanish portfolio will increase to 262 MW and its wider portfolio of wind and solar projects will grow to 1,642 MW. The new Spanish projects comprises two 50 MWp solar parks in Castilla, La Mancha, which are underpinned by long-term “pay-as-produced” PPAs with an undisclosed international technology company. “We are delighted to be able to strategically expand our local portfolio and realise another major project with a reliable partner like Diverxia. “With this transaction, we are taking another big step in our growth strategy with a strong focus on Europe,” stated Tim Kallas, Chief Investment Officer at BEE. “With an attractive PPA contract partner, we are ensuring reliable revenues while helping to further support their ambitious sustainability and growth targets.” “We are thrilled to collaborate once again with Blue Elephant Energy GmbH on this project,” added Paola Cásseres, Managing Director of Diverxia. “This strategic partnership not only reinforces our position as leading developers internationally but also significantly contributes to the transition towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. We are committed to the successful implementation of this project, which will not only generate clean and renewable energy but also strengthen the energy infrastructure in the Castilla-La Mancha region.” Kallas also said in a seperate post: “Special thanks goes to our financing partner DAL Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing who are supporting us on the financing of this project as well as to our lawyers Watson Farley & Williams and last but not least to the dedicated Blue Elephant Energy GmbH team Sascha Krauss, August Westphalen, Sascha Wirth, Issa Farmani, Laurits Jacobsen, Jeremias Enrico and many more.” #cleanenergy
