ENGIE has entered into a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Apple to expand its renewable energy operations in Italy. Under the agreement, ENGIE will develop two wind farms with a combined capacity of 74 MW, along with one 11 MW wind repowering project, and two agrivoltaic solar plants totalling 88 MW. All projects, located in southern Italy, have been authorised and are scheduled to become operational between 2026 and 2027. The cumulative installed capacity of these projects will be 173 MW, expected to generate over 400 GWh of clean electricity annually.
Around 80 per cent of the electricity generated from these projects will be supplied to Apple, with the remaining 20 per cent injected into the national grid. The energy exported to the grid is expected to meet the annual requirements of approximately 30,000 households. Furthermore, the project will help offset more than 160,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
Earlier this month, ENGIE signed a 10-year power purchase agreement with METLEN for the supply of power from six solar projects, with a total capacity of 235 MW, across the UK. Four projects are scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, while the remaining two are expected to be commissioned in 2026.
