The project will supply renewable energy for ten years to an Italian industrial customer in the chemical sector with a long-term supply contract finalized in cooperation with Axpo Italia.
“This is one of the first large-scale projects under construction in Italy to be financed through project financing. This will be followed in the Autumn by other projects for over 50 MW. Another step in the growth strategy of the group, which has a pipeline of over 1GW of projects in advanced development, in addition to the 42 MW already in operation.” commented Antonio Urbano, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Eos Consulting assisted ING Bank on the technical side, and ValeCap was the financial advisor for Sistema Rinnovabili.
