BayWa r.e. completes solar park continues in Italy

Green Forum
BayWa r.e. announced the completion of the Tarquinia solar park in Italy with an installed capacity of 51.4 MWp.

The plant consists of more than 94,000 fixed solar modules providing electricity from renewable sources to more than 35,000 households. BayWa r.e. acted as the general contractor and developer of the project, managing not only the development of the park and all the authorization phases but also its construction and the installation of the photovoltaic (PV) panels. With work now complete, BayWa r.e. will be responsible for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the solar farm.

Significant mitigation measures were implemented to improve the integration of the solar park with the surrounding area. These include the creation of an artificial pond to promote aquatic microhabitats suitable for the colonization of amphibians, other vertebrates, and aquatic macroinvertebrates. In addition, existing dry-stone walls were preserved and restored to maintain landscape integrity and promote local biodiversity. Planting native plant species is also planned to create ecological corridors and improve environmental connectivity with nearby natural sites.

Alessandra Toschi, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Italy, commented: “The completion of the Tarquinia solar park represents a crucial step in our efforts to drive the energy transition in Italy. This project demonstrates that it is possible to actively contribute to the country's decarbonization while respecting the region's unique characteristics. We are proud to be able to provide renewable energy to more than 35,000 households while contributing to enhancing biodiversity and preserving the landscape.”

Céline Tran, Regional Director of Projects Europe South West at BayWa r.e. added: “It's great to see this solar farm commissioned as a result of the remarkable efforts of our Italian team. We are strongly committed to the attractive Italian market, with our teams active in on- and offshore wind, PV, and storage.”
