The IPV Conference will gather architects, planners and researchers at the Chamber of Commerce on 3 and 4 December to examine how photovoltaics can be integrated into buildings, infrastructure and vehicles.
The Greek energy group is expanding its M RESET division with grid-scale storage projects in three European markets. Recent milestones include a 129 MW project in the UK, a 25 MW asset in Italy and Greece's largest standalone battery at 330 MW.
A new partnership between OIEH and AIAS aims to accelerate agrivoltaics deployment through shared expertise, joint conferences and coordinated proposals on regulation, drawing on Italy's established track record in the sector.
The fully permitted 90 MW park in Puglia carries a 20-year FerX Contract for Difference, built on already-industrialised land in a province long defined by fossil-fuel generation.
Zelestra has signed a ten-year tolling agreement with Axpo for a 207 MW storage project in northeastern Italy, its first BESS development in the country and one that would make it Italy's second-largest holder of authorised battery storage capacity.
Two new Agri-PV installations in Morcone and Acquafredda mark RWE's entry into the Italian market, with elevated tracker systems designed to shade crops while adding 19 MW of solar capacity to the grid.
The installation in Lodi is projected to outperform a comparable TOPCon-based system by more than 633 MWh over 30 years.
The 300 MWh installation, built for four-hour discharge, will help stabilise the Italian grid during non-solar peak hours, supporting the country's PNIEC goals with dispatchable clean power.
The 225 MW installation outside Vizzini will be refinanced via a CfD awarded through a competitive process in which generation cost was only one of several criteria.
With advances in standard PV equipment and proven mounting systems, agrivoltaics is moving beyond its experimental phase and entering mainstream deployment, explains Benjamin von Berg of Trinasolar.
First commercial installations of the JAPlanet system are running at sites from Sicilian hotels to Dutch logistics hubs, paired with PV and built around a 261 kWh LFP block scalable to 5.2 MWh.
With a 3 GW pipeline of solar and battery projects, Metlen is strengthening its position in Italy through new storage projects, tolling agreements and partnerships with industrial energy consumers.
Hithium’s modular Power Flexsso, offered in 3.125 MWh and 6.25 MWh (four-hour) configurations, weighs under 26 tons per unit, allowing standard road transport and simplifying deployment across regions with logistical constraints.
Ownership of the Mineo solar plant in Sicily has passed to Sosteneo, with revenues secured through a FERX contract for difference.
Skyworth PV is advancing a project in Ocre, Italy, into construction while progressing a Bordeaux scheme, as the company builds a European pipeline focused on distributed solar and local partnerships.
The agreement pairs Talesun’s global agrivoltaic project pipeline based on Alphatracker’s purpose-built trackers and structures, with installations customised to local crops and a total investment topping €700 million.
CCE Holding has revamped one of its earliest photovoltaic assets in Francavilla, Apulia. Rene Hörwertner, Director Asset Operation, shares key lessons from the 990 kW IGEP plant.
Several manufacturers used KEY 2026 to introduce new PV modules, including JA Solar’s DeepBlue 5.0 TOPCon, Gokin’s AllBlack back-contact, Aiko’s upgraded Infinite ABC and SolarFabrik’s Mono S4 Halfcut BC White module.
Solar tracker providers, including agri-PV specialists, gathered at KEY in Rimini to present flexible systems and digital optimisation tools as trackers become the default option for ground-mounted PV in Italy.
Independent power producer and developer MET Energia Italia will act as aggregator for 600 industrial customers seeking solar power supply under Italy’s recently launched Energy Release Scheme.
The German agri-PV developer is expanding into Italy, targeting favourable regulation for dual land use and launching its first projects combining vertically mounted bifacial modules with agricultural production.
German mounting specialist Schletter Group is supplying structures for a 96 MW ground-mounted solar park near Udine, one of the larger photovoltaic projects currently under development in northern Italy.
The Energy Release 2.0 scheme has entered its build-out phase, with 22.5 TWh contracted to energy-intensive users. Developers must now secure renewable capacity to meet 20-year restitution obligations, according to Pexapark.
The KEY expo in Rimini highlights new investment opportunities and strategies to reduce energy costs, bringing together financiers, EPC contractors and industry stakeholders from Italy and abroad. Subscribe to our investor newsletter on 11 March 2026.
At Rimini Expo Centre, DPE 2026 will host a three-day platform focused on infrastructure, digitalisation and the integration of distributed and centralised power systems.
