WFW advises Encavis on acquisition of Italy’s largest solar portfolio

The portfolio comprises three plants located in the Lazio region and two in Puglia. The project also includes the installation of an additional 17 MW to the three plants in Lazio. The plants are supported by long-term PPAs or incentive mechanisms, ensuring revenue stability.

Hamburg-based Encavis is one of Europe’s leading independent power producers, operating across 13 countries with a total installed capacity of over 4.2 GW. EDPR is a leader in the renewable energy sector and operates as part of the global EDP Renewables group, the fourth-largest renewable energy producer worldwide.

Partner, Tiziana Manenti, Senior Associates, Anthony Bellacci and Antimo Rocco Nersita, and Associate, Marco Iannotti, advised on the regulatory and administrative aspects of the transaction, as well as on legal due diligence. Counsel, Alfredo Guacci Esposito, provided tax expertise. The team worked closely throughout the transaction with Encavis’ inhouse legal team led by Legal Inhouse, Dr Constantin Lentz.

Eugenio commented: “We’re proud to have supported our longstanding client Encavis on this landmark acquisition, which not only concerns the largest solar park in Italy but also highlights our continued commitment to driving the energy transition forward. This transaction is a great example of cross-border collaboration and strategic investment in renewables.”
