Eni-Controlled Plenitude and Modine Collaborate on Italian Solar Power Plant
Trend reports that Eni-controlled Plenitude and Modine, a leading thermal management solutions provider, have signed an agreement for the construction of a new solar power plant in the Italian province of Udine. The 1.585 MWp plant, set to be built in Pocenia, will generate approximately 1.8 GWh of electricity annually, powering Modine's facilities through an innovative thermal and cooling energy system. The project's energy performance contract (EPC) spans 10 years, allowing Modine to access renewable energy at a fixed cost without upfront capital investment. This new plant adds to two existing photovoltaic systems completed by Plenitude at Modine's sites in Pocenia and San Vito al Tagliamento, with capacities of 2.5 MWp and 1.183 MWp, respectively.
