This achievement marks a new step for Econergy as it expands its operational footprint to Italy, joining Romania and the UK in its European portfolio.
Italy’s renewable energy policy has been highly supportive, with consumption of renewable energy surpassing fossil fuels for the first time in early 2024. This trend underscores Italy's commitment to sustainable energy growth and makes it an attractive market for future projects.
