Bluefield Italia Srl (‘Bluefield’)
‘Bluefield to leverage in house technical expertise to optimise efficiency’
Advised by Bluefield Italia Srl, Bluefield Revive Italia l Srl (“the vehicle”), is proud to announce purchase of ca. 5MW solar PV portfolio in Sicily and Apulia, Italy. This strategic investment is backed by Bluefield’s team of renewable energy experts.
Since commencing operations in 2010/2011, the portfolio has shown immense potential, despite previous technical challenges. Bluefield intends to capitalise on its extensive renewable sector expertise to implement critical enhancements and optimise the plant’s efficiency.
A phased panel replacement and revamping activities are scheduled to commence in 2024. This initiative aims to increase the plant’s overall productivity. The ultimate goal is to improve the returns of the fund while enabling the plants in realising their full potential for renewable energy generation.
This acquisition aligns with Italy’s ambitious target of sourcing two-thirds of its electricity from renewable energies by 2030 and strengthens Bluefield’s commitment to fostering a sustainable future. Following a successful funding round in August 2023, Bluefield is actively contributing to Italy’s renewable energy targets and the national drive towards Net zero by 2050.
For this transaction, Bluefield partnered with Legance for legal services with Cristina Martorana, Valeria Viti, Alessandro Sassoli and Lorenzo Massaro. Bluefield also partnered with Kiwa Moroni for technical advisory, and PwC for tax and accounting expertise.
