Keppel MET Renewables acquires PV projects in northern Italy

Green Forum
The Swiss-based renewable energy investment platform Keppel MET Renewables (KMR) has completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares in two photovoltaic projects in the Italian regions of Piedmont and Lombardy.  

With a total installed capacity of 20 MWp and an estimated annual electricity production of approximately 30 GWh, the two solar plants will generate electricity equivalent to the consumption of over 10,000 households once completed. Both projects, developed by the Italian energy company ReFeel New Energy (RNE), are ready for construction, with commercial operations expected to begin in 2025.

Luke Gillott, CEO of KMR, stated: "The completion of this transaction marks an important milestone in our goal to build a portfolio of cutting-edge wind and solar projects in the European Union. We are committed to playing an active role in Europe's energy transition."

KMR, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, is a significant player in the Italian renewable energy market, with an existing portfolio of 277 MWp of solar projects in early or mid-development stages across Italy, expected to become commercially operational in the coming years. The company acquires, develops, operates, and manages large-scale, high-performance solar photovoltaic and onshore wind renewable assets throughout Europe.
