In return, ACCIONA Energ\u00eda will develop new renewable projects in Italy, which will also receive a fixed tariff, linking the fixed-price energy supplied with new generation over a 20-year period.<\/p>\n<p>This framework enhances revenue visibility for developers, strengthens competitiveness for energy-intensive industries by providing them access to clean energy at stable prices, and contributes to the development of new renewable energy capacity in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>ACCIONA Energ\u00eda operates 156MW across four wind farms in Italy \u2013 Cocullo (Abruzzo), Isola and Sant\u2019Anna (Calabria), and Caccamo (Sicily). In addition, it is set to build two new photovoltaic plants in Sicily \u2013 Panbianco (100.8MWp) and Benante (50.2MWp), after being awarded 151MW of solar capacity in the latest FERX public renewable energy auction.<\/p>\n<p>ACCIONA has maintained a strong presence in Italy for more than 25 years, mainly through its water and construction businesses, with landmark projects such as several sections of the Apulia sanitation system, the Fuente Presidiana drinking water treatment plant and the breakwater at the Port of Ravenna.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acciona.com\/updates\/news\/acciona-energia-secures-contracts-decarbonize-energy-intensive-industry-italy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Original announcement link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: ACCIONA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; The contracts have been signed under Italy\u2019s Energy Release 2.0 mechanism, managed by the Italian public entity&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[5861,5852,5847,322,5855,5854,5849,5856,5857,5860,5862,5864,5,2224,5865,5859,5866,5851,1310,5863,5848,5867,5868,5853,5858,5850],"class_list":{"0":"post-8024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-italy","8":"tag-alternative-energy","9":"tag-drilling","10":"tag-e-p-news","11":"tag-energy","12":"tag-energy-pedia","13":"tag-energy365","14":"tag-exploration-and-production","15":"tag-farmin","16":"tag-farmout","17":"tag-geological-and-geophysical","18":"tag-heavy-oil","19":"tag-hydrocarbon","20":"tag-italy","21":"tag-jobs","22":"tag-licence-round","23":"tag-licensing","24":"tag-noc","25":"tag-offshore","26":"tag-oil","27":"tag-oil-and-gas-condensate","28":"tag-oil-and-gas-exploration","29":"tag-oil-and-gas-ministry","30":"tag-oil-companies","31":"tag-rig","32":"tag-seismic","33":"tag-upstream"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
