Enerland Group, Spanish multinational based in Zaragoza, closes the year with the signing of their largest deal to date in Italy: the Nox project.
This strategic partnership with DRI, a division of DTEK, will enable the European company to combine energy production from renewable sources with agricultural activities in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia. In total, four projects that will have a total installed capacity of 166 MWp and, once completed, will generate approximately 307 GWh per year and will avoid the emission of over 101,000 tons of CO2 to the atmosphere.
Manuel Balet and Javier Gil, CEOs, Enerland Group, stated: “We are thrilled to embark on this journey with DRI, whose vision as a long-term investor aligns perfectly with ours. This partnership represents the foundation for what we are confident will be a remarkable journey together in many more projects and geographies”.
Diego González, Country Manager, Enerland Group, who signed the deal on behalf of the company, added: “We are proud that DRI has chosen our specialized development team to successfully lead their strategic projects. Our in-depth knowledge of the territory and our experience in agrovoltaics will hopefully be instrumental in achieving DRI’s goals in the Italian market”.
John Stuart, CEO, DRI, said: “Italy is one of DRI’s key markets. We see huge potential to build out our renewable energy and battery storage portfolio here, and contribute to the country’s energy transition and its national and EU targets. Our acquisition of four solar projects will also allow us to combine energy production from renewable sources with agricultural activities, generating economic development for local communities and fostering energy independence. I thank Enerland for being a great partner”.
