The European Funding Financial institution (EIB), Natixis Company & Funding Banking (Natixis CIB), and the Sunprime Group have agreed on a financing deal of EUR 204 million ($223.9 million) for the development and operation of over 100 solar energy techniques with a mixed capability of as much as 220 megawatts throughout Italy.
This initiative emphasizes environment friendly land use and decentralized power manufacturing. As soon as operational in 2026, these photo voltaic vegetation are anticipated to generate roughly 275 gigawatt-hours of renewable electrical energy yearly, ample to energy greater than 105,000 Italian households, the trio stated in a media launch.
The photo voltaic portfolio is projected to scale back carbon dioxide emissions by about 2.35 million tons over the tasks’ lifetime.

“Italy is a market with large potential for photo voltaic power manufacturing and this funding will make the nation extra power unbiased. The EIB is the local weather financial institution of the European Union, and our financing helps make the world extra sustainable for future generations”, stated EIB Vice-President Gelsomina Vigliotti.
“This key transaction will allow our group to achieve the goal of 500-megawatt peak linked over 400 tasks all through Italy, inbuilt areas the place it’s extra sustainable to put in photovoltaic techniques: roofs after asbestos has been eliminated, energy-intensive firms, industrial and agricultural land near industrial zones”, Sunprime CEO Antonio Mazzitelli stated.
“We’re proud to have been appointed as Sole Underwriter for this key greenfield initiative for Sunprime, which consolidates our main place within the renewable power sector in Italy. This extra ‘Inexperienced Mortgage’ funding within the Italian market confirms Natixis’ continued concentrate on sustainable improvement within the context of ecological transition and environmental values”, Infra&Power Finance Government Director of Natixis CIB (Milan Department) Stefano Mazza added.
Most photovoltaic techniques will qualify for the inducement fee beneath the Renewable Decree (FER Decree 1) by being constructed on industrial land or rooftops with asbestos elimination, producing contractual revenues for 20 years. For installations on agricultural land, Sunprime will prepare long-term electrical energy buy agreements or promote the power in the marketplace.
In help of the REPowerEU plan, the EIB has dedicated a further EUR 45 billion ($49.5 billion) in investments by 2027 to help renewable power tasks.
