MILAN, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The A2A Group, one of Italy’s largest players in the energy transition, and Enfinity Global Inc, a leader in renewable energy, today announced the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for three of Enfinity’s solar photovoltaic projects in the Lazio region, totaling 97 MW of renewable electricity capacity.
The agreement, set to commence in July 2025, stipulates that A2A will offtake approximately 160 GWh/year of clean energy of the renewable energy produced by the plants, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 64.000 families in Italy, offsetting the emission of more than 60.000 tons of CO2 emissions.
With this agreement, Enfinity Global with 232 MW, becomes Italy’s largest provider of cumulative contracted capacity through long-term energy sale agreements. In addition, Enfinity Italy has 500 MW of fully permitted solar power plants, 1.8 GW of solar power plants in advanced permitted stages, and 2 GW of storage projects.
Through partnerships such as this, A2A, the nation’s second largest player in the renewable energy sector, contributes to further boosting the green energy market, putting at the service of its customers targeted solutions that promote the decarbonization process of the country. With this same objective in mind, the Group has planned significant investments in its Strategic Plan, amounting to 11 billion euros by 2030, in order to equip the territory with the infrastructures necessary for the energy transition.
“We are proud to partner A2A, one of the most respected energy companies in Italy and Europe, with a long and proud history of serving its customers,” highlighted Carlos Domenech, CEO of Enfinity Global. “We are thankful for the local support as we have the projects and capabilities to bring stable, clean, and affordable energy to Italy.”
