Our energy

Wind, water, natural gas. Our portfolio has grown, and today we are producing energy from the sun, too.

Thanks to an important acquisition, we have made our entry into the solar business and today we are operating in eight different regions from the north to the south of Italy with a total installed capacity of 89 MW and with about 136 GWh of annual production while preventing about 77 kT of CO₂ emissions.

These are all high quality plants located in Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, the Marches, Abruzzo, Campania, Puglia, Calabria and Sicily. One other piece of our technological diversification strategy that lets us expand and optimise our energy management portfolio. 

Genoa, 3 August 2018. ERG, leading Italian producer of energy from renewable sources, with over 2,800 MW of installed capacity, and Quercus Assets Selection Sarl, a European fund focused on investments in renewable sources with over Euro 350 million of assets under management, have today signed an agreement for the creation of a public limited company, ERG Q Solar1, to be based in Genoa under the joint ownership of Erg (60%) and the sub-fund Quercus Assets Selection Sarl (40%), with the objective of consolidating the Italian photovoltaic market. The company's incorporation is expected to take place on or before 30 September 2018.

The purpose of the NewCo, which will operate only within Italy, is the acquisition of small solar plants with less than 1 MW of installed capacity, targeting up to 150 MW by the end of 2021. Overall investments are envisaged during the next three years for a maximum amount of 350 million Euro, aiming for at least a "low double digit" equity Internal Rate of Return, also thanks to the implementation of industrial and financial synergies.
