Eni’s renewables arm Plenitude and Modine have signed a deal to construct a photo voltaic plant with a capability of 1.585 megawatts peak (MWp) in Pocenia, Italy, to energy Modine’s amenities.
The undertaking will generate about 1.8 gigawatt hours (GWh) yearly and can “contribute to powering an progressive system for the era of thermal and cooling vitality at Modine’s amenities”, Eni mentioned in a press launch. Modine is a multinational developer of warmth alternate options for business, industrial and cell methods.
The undertaking may even set up high-efficiency, next-generation warmth pumps with a complete capability of 5 MW and condensing boilers with a mixed capability of 4.6 MW.

“Because of a 10-year Vitality Efficiency Contract (EPC) mannequin, MODINE will have the ability to entry renewable vitality at a hard and fast price with none upfront funding”, Eni mentioned.
Plenitude had already accomplished two photovoltaic methods with capacities of two.5 MWp and 1.183 MWp at Modine’s websites in Pocenia and San Vito al Tagliamento.
Final month Eni introduced three photo voltaic initiatives in Italy for one more industrial producer. With a collective capability of 5.4 MWp, the crops will rise on automotive applied sciences provider Marelli’s factories in Melfi, Sulmona and Turin. The initiatives comply with the EPC mannequin.
“On the Melfi web site, Plenitude has additionally designed an Vitality Group for Marelli beneath the Particular person Distant Self-Consumption (AID) configuration”, Eni mentioned Might 28. It was referring to an Italian mannequin by which a single finish buyer makes use of vitality from close by renewable crops on the buyer’s designated withdrawal factors.
“The photovoltaic park, with a capability of 999 kWp might be put in on land owned by Marelli, who will share the vitality produced with a neighboring firm. As soon as operational, the plant will profit from the 20-year state incentives offered for AID, with a portion of the funds allotted, as per laws, to assist social initiatives within the space internet hosting the plant.
“This initiative reinforces Plenitude’s technique of selling Vitality Communities as a key device within the transition to a extra sustainable and participatory vitality system, based mostly on sharing renewable vitality regionally between producers and shoppers.
“Plenitude will assist Marelli in all phases of the initiative, from the design and building of the crops to the applying for incentives, additionally offering its technological platform, ‘Plenitude Comunità Energetiche’, which can allow the administration and monitoring of the AID configuration”.
Plenitude, at the moment lively in over 15 international locations, plans to succeed in 10 GW of renewable capability by 2028. On the finish of the primary quarter of 2025, its put in era capability from renewable sources rose to 4.1 GW, based on Eni.
This 12 months Plenitude put in a mixed 400 MW in Spain by the Caparacena undertaking in Granada, the Renopool photo voltaic park in Extremadura and the Guillena photo voltaic park in Andalusia.
It additionally began up a 37-MW agrivoltaic plant in Montalto di Castro, Italy. The undertaking has a yearly capability of greater than 70 gWh, sufficient for the annual wants of over 22,000 Italian households, based on Eni. The undertaking is owned by Eni-Infrastructure three way partnership Hergo Renewables.
Plenitude additionally accomplished the development of a 200-MW battery vitality storage system in Webb County, Texas. The Guajillo plant, Eni’s greatest battery vitality storage facility, is scheduled to start out mid-2025. It’s meant to provide energy when market demand is biggest.
In March Plenitude acquired from EDP Renewables North America a 49 % stake in two operational photo voltaic crops and an electrical energy storage facility in building in California. The three crops have a complete put in capability of about 499 MW direct present (MWdc), of which 245 MWdc corresponds to Plenitude’s share.
Plenitude additionally introduced in March the beginning of building of a 90-MW photo voltaic plant in Fortuna, Spain. The power might be related to the distribution grid.
