This project demonstrates that it is possible to actively contribute to the decarbonisation of the country, while respecting the unique characteristics of the region. We are proud to be able to provide renewable energy to more than 35,000 households, while contributing to enhancing biodiversity and preserving the landscape.”

Céline Tran, Regional Director Projects Europe South West at BayWa r.e., added,: “It’s great to see this solar farm commissioned as a result of the remarkable efforts of our Italian team. We are strongly committed to the attractive Italian market, with our teams active in on- and offshore wind, PV and storage.”
