GreenGo announces its first two solar projects in Lombardy in partnership with Astrea Energia

The first project (3.5 MW) will be located on a flat area of ​​a closed quarry, while the second project (5 MW) will consist of a floating photovoltaic power plant located on a 10.6-hectare reservoir in the former mining area of ​​Lower Pavia.

Both initiatives represent a concrete turning point in the energy landscape of the Pavia region: the total planned peak power is 8.5 MWp when connected to the local electricity grid.

The objective pursued in the engineering process is to guarantee minimal environmental impact, also through a careful study of the biological and bird conditions of the site and a construction strategy that minimizes the logistical impact on the territory. This strategy also ensures full reversibility of the intervention at the end of the plant’s life cycle.

The strategic partnership with Astrea Energia was launched in 2023 and underlined Astrea’s solid experience in the renewable energy sector. The company led by Maria Sabella took care of the development and authorization process up to the “Ready To Build” status, guaranteeing the optimization of the solar energy produced by both plants.

“Collaborating with GreenGo, which represents excellence in our sector, on this innovative project is a truly enriching experience and shows how value can be created by combining synergies and skills,” said Maria Sabella, Co-Founder of Astrea Energia. “This operation expands and strengthens our portfolio of projects in Northern Italy, which has exceeded 300 MW to date. We are convinced that soon, with DM FER X, we will be able to strengthen the floating photovoltaic sector, which has a convincing development potential in Italy and which would need more convincing government support to take off, also taking into account the positive environmental benefits by reducing the use of agricultural land and protecting water resources while respecting biodiversity. The proximity of the two plants will allow for responsive benchmarking throughout the life cycle of PV systems, monitoring the productivity of floating technologies compared to land-based technologies.”

GreenGo is currently expanding its presence in Italy and consolidating its leading role in the renewable energy sector. It has projects spread over 11 different regions of Italy, from South to North, adding Lombardy to its portfolio of project areas.
