European Energy has secured Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for five photovoltaic projects in southern Italy with a combined capacity of 513 megawatts, the company said, marking a significant expansion of its pipeline under the country’s FerX auction programme.
The projects, which range from 20 MW to 225 MW, are located in Sicily, Apulia and Molise. Alessandro Migliorini, the company’s director and country manager for Italy, said the awards provide long-term revenue visibility. “The awards provide predictable price structures for each asset during operations,” he said.
One of the awarded schemes is the Vizzini agri-PV solar park in Sicily, designed to integrate agricultural activities with power generation. According to European Energy, the site is expected to become Italy’s largest solar park once completed.
“This project underscores European Energy’s role in advancing Europe’s green transition,” said Thorvald Spanggaard, executive vice president and head of project development. “The company’s continued commitment to the Italian market is reflected in this development, which supports Italy’s renewable energy ambitions.”
European Energy has previously developed several renewable energy assets in Italy, including the Troia solar park, completed in 2021. The company said it has secured or signed 15 CfDs or power purchase agreements across its global markets in 2025.
