RWE Starts Construction of its First Solar Power Plant in Italy

RWE has started the construction of its first solar plant in Italy. Bosco, an 8.3 megawatt (MWac) ground-mounted solar plant, will be installed in Partinico Municipality near Palermo, Sicily. On a 16-hectare site, around 15,000 bifacial modules will have the capacity to generate enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of 7,000 Italian homes. Commissioning is planned for the end of the year.

Katja Wünschel, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia, expressed her excitement about the project. She highlighted that what makes Bosco special is the exceptionally short time it took from the start of development to construction.  Thanks to the implementation of a new accelerated permitting process in Italy, they were able to reach Ready to Build in less than 18 months. This is a great achievement, and they look forward to realizing their next projects in Italy, one of their key renewable energy markets.

Bifacial solar cells consist of a double-sided module that allows solar irradiance to be absorbed from the rear as well as from the front side of the module. A second glass pane on the rear side of the module ensures that refracted light is captured from the rear solar cells, thus increasing production and efficiency at the solar plant.

RWE’s Renewable Power Projects in Italy

RWE Renewables Italia has a strong presence in the Italian wind market. The company takes an integrated project approach that incorporates the development, construction, operation, and marketing of wind farms. RWE currently operates 15 onshore wind farms in Italy, with an installed capacity of approximately 500 MW. With its onshore fleet, RWE supplies around 400,000 Italian households with green electricity every year.

The company is currently constructing the 54-MW San Severo wind farm and is about to start building the Mondonuovo wind farm (more than 50 MW), both in the Apulia region. The Bosco solar plant is another step in RWE’s commitment to expanding renewable energy projects around the world.
