Italy: Keppel MET Renewables purchases solar projects

With a total installed capacity of 20 MW and combined total electricity production of approximately 30 GWh per year, the two solar plants will generate power equivalent to the consumption of more than 10,000 Italian households once they are completed. Both projects, which were developed by Italian clean energy company ReFeel New Energy (RNE), are ready-to-build with commercial operations to commence in 2025.

Portfolio of 277 MW solar projects in Italy

Luke Gillott, CEO of KMR, commented: “The closing of this transaction marks a key milestone in our ambition to build a portfolio of state-of-the-art wind and solar projects across the European Union. We are fully committed to playing an active role in Europe’s energy transition.”
