Italy's Largest Integrated Solar and Storage System at IGAT Industrial Site
Key Ideas
- IGAT and EDP Energy Italy signed a partnership to build a 2.5 MWp photovoltaic system integrated with a 1 MWh storage system at IGAT's industrial site in Caserta, Italy.
- The solar plant will produce 3.5 GWh of clean energy per year, storing excess energy for up to two hours, reducing CO2 emissions by over 1,100 tons annually.
- IGAT's 'Green Hydrogen' project, funded by the PNRR National Recovery and Resilience Plan, will produce green hydrogen through an electrolyzer powered by EDP's solar plant.
- The collaboration between IGAT and EDP represents a significant step towards sustainable energy transition, promoting renewable sources and responsible practices in the industrial sector.
IGAT, an Italian chemical company, and EDP Energy Italy have partnered to establish Italy's largest integrated solar and storage system at IGAT's industrial site in Caserta, Italy. The 2.5 MWp photovoltaic system, comprising over 3,400 panels, will generate 3.5 GWh of clean energy annually. Additionally, a 1 MWh battery energy storage system will store excess energy, contributing to grid stability and energy independence. This initiative aligns with IGAT's 'Green Hydrogen' project, aiming to produce green hydrogen via an electrolyzer powered by EDP's solar plant. The partnership reflects a commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, with expected reductions of over 1,100 tons of CO2 emissions yearly. IGAT's CEO emphasizes their focus on sustainability, while EDP's Client Solutions division head highlights the importance of energy transition and grid stability. The collaboration demonstrates how large energy operators and industrial companies can accelerate the adoption of renewable sources and promote responsible practices for a more sustainable future.
