Repsol SA will develop 1,768 MW of renewable energy projects in Italy, which includes 943 MW of wind and 825 MW of solar projects, with more than 60% of them at an advanced stage of development.
Italy is one of the countries Repsol is focusing on in its international renewables expansion.
The Spanish energy group, which already has an office in Milan, will soon start constructing its first two photovoltaic arrays in Italy with a capacity of 11 MW.
Repsol has amassed the portfolio by acquiring several projects combined with the Italian sites of Asterion Energies, which Repsol bought recently, adding a 7,700-MW pipeline.
Repsol is targeting 6,000 MW of installed renewables capacity by 2025 and 20,000 MW by 2030. Currently, it has more than 2,000 MW in operation, including 1,600 MW in Spain.
