Terrawatt, a Rome-based renewable energy start-up, has entered the first construction phase of its portfolio of photovoltaic (PV) projects, marking a key milestone in the company’s growth.
With a pipeline of approximately 250 MW of solar PV under development across Italy, Terrawatt is now preparing to deliver its first operational plant in Monte San Vito (province of Ancona), set to break ground by the end of 2025.
The project will install just under 1 MWp of capacity, producing enough clean electricity to prevent around 540 tpy of CO2 emissions – equivalent to 16 200 t over the plant’s 30-year lifespan. Operations are expected to begin in the 2Q26.
Patrick Donati, Founder of Terrawatt, responded: “This project is a significant step for Terrawatt. Securing approval and moving into construction – even in the challenging context of a site located near an airport – confirms the strength of this approach. It shows our ability to navigate complex regulatory frameworks while delivering high-quality renewable infrastructure.”
Launched in 2022, Terrawatt has quickly built a strong platform for growth. The Monte San Vito plant not only represents the company’s first operational project but also ushers in the next development phase, covering construction, grid connection, and the signing of power purchase agreements (PPAs). These milestones will act as a springboard for Terrawatt’s wider portfolio, now advancing through various permitting stages.
