Opdenergy wins 278 MW of Solar Projects in Italy’s FER-X Auction

16 December 2025

  • Opdenergy secures 10 projects totaling 278 MW of solar capacity in Italy through the latest FER-X auction, making the company one of the auction’s main winners. 
  • These assets are supported by a 20-year pay-as-produced PPA contract covering approximately 95% of the energy generated, reinforcing the company’s long-term growth strategy while supporting Italy’s decarbonization targets. 
  • The construction of these projects will start within 2026 and are part of the 4 GW of pipeline of solar, storage and wind projects that the company holds in the country. 

Madrid, December 16th, 2025 – Opdenergy, a global independent power producer (IPP) specialized in renewable energy, announces the award of approximately 278 MWp of solar capacity in Italy, following its successful participation in the most recent FER-X auction. This achievement highlights Opdenergy’s strong competitive positioning and its ability to deliver high-quality renewable projects in one of Europe’s most dynamic energy markets. 

The awarded assets will be located across several regions in Italy — with a particular focus on Piemonte, Campania and Puglia — and will significantly contribute to the country’s clean-energy deployment. Once operational, the plants will supply cost-efficient, reliable solar power while supporting Italy’s decarbonization strategy and EU energy-transition objectives.  

Luis Cid, CEO of Opdenergy, declared: “Our success in the FER-X auction marks an important milestone for Opdenergy and reflects the strength of our global development platform. Italy continues to be a priority market for us, combining solid market fundamentals with a regulatory framework that supports long-term renewable investment.” 

Antonio Capua, Country Manager for Italy at Opdenergy, added: “This award validates the exceptional work of our Italian team and confirms Opdenergy’s commitment to supporting Italy’s renewable-energy ambitions. We are proud to contribute to the country’s energy transition and look forward to working closely with local communities, partners, and institutions as we move toward construction and delivery.” 

With this achievement, Opdenergy continues to strengthen its strategic position in key international markets while accelerating the development of competitive solar, storage and wind assets across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. 

The integration of these projects will directly support Italy’s energy transition goals, further increasing Opdenergy’s renewable generation capacity with low-risk, operational assets. The company remains committed to sustainability, long-term value creation, and the continued enhancement of its efficient and competitive generation platform.
