GreenYellow Partners With Sasol Italy For 5.1 MWp Solar Project In Terranova dei Passerini, Strengthening Industrial Sustainability And Local Clean Energy Supply

GreenYellow, a global leader in decentralized energy solutions, and Sasol Italy, a subsidiary of the multinational chemical and energy group Sasol, have begun construction of a new photovoltaic solar power plant in Terranova dei Passerini, located in the province of Lodi, Lombardy. With an installed capacity of 5.1 MWp, the project represents a major step forward in Sasol Italy’s ongoing sustainability and energy independence strategy.

The solar facility will be built on land owned by Sasol Italy and developed under a customized, turnkey Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This model ensures that Sasol Italy will receive clean, locally generated, and competitively priced electricity under stable long-term economic conditions. The energy produced will primarily be consumed on-site, with the ability to manage surplus power effectively, ensuring reliable energy availability throughout the duration of the agreement.

Scheduled to be commissioned in the second half of 2026, the solar plant will generate approximately 7.6 GWh of electricity annually — equivalent to the consumption of more than 2,800 Italian households. In environmental terms, this will prevent over 4,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year, contributing meaningfully to both Sasol’s global climate goals and Italy’s national decarbonization objectives. The project has also benefited from the involvement of EEMAXX INNOVATION, which supported its design and permitting stages, helping to streamline the development process.

According to Sebastiano Durante, Senior Manager of Strategic Sourcing Energy & Emissions at Sasol Italy, the initiative marks a critical milestone in the company’s energy transition journey. “This project confirms our commitment to collaborate with partners such as GreenYellow to implement our sustainability strategy at Sasol Italy and achieve our emissions reduction targets at our industrial sites,” he said.

Rolando Furlong, General Manager of GreenYellow Europe, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership, noting that the project exemplifies GreenYellow’s mission to make the energy transition accessible and sustainable for corporate players. “Italy is a key market for us in Europe, and this project highlights our dedication to accelerating the decarbonization of the industrial sector while building a more resilient energy future,” he stated.

The Terranova dei Passerini solar project strengthens GreenYellow’s growing footprint in the Italian renewable energy market and underscores its expertise in developing fully integrated, tailor-made solar solutions. GreenYellow’s model includes every aspect of project delivery — from feasibility studies and financing to installation, operation, and maintenance — enabling clients to focus on their core operations while benefiting from reliable green energy solutions.

Pierre Marouby, Country Manager of GreenYellow Italy, added that this initiative reflects the company’s broader ambition to lead the decentralized solar sector in Europe. “We aim to empower industrial clients with access to local, stable, and cost-effective renewable energy. Through flexible on-site PPA models, we not only help them reduce their carbon footprint but also protect them from energy price volatility and dependence on the electricity grid,” he said.

Through this collaboration, GreenYellow and Sasol Italy are setting a new benchmark for corporate sustainability in Italy, demonstrating how industrial partnerships can drive meaningful progress toward a greener and more energy-secure future.
