European Energy Clears FID for 225 MW Agri-PV Project Solar Park in Italy
European Energy has taken the final investment decision for a 225 MW agri-PV project near Vizzini in Sicily, which will pair elevated solar panels with ongoing farming use and is scheduled to commence operation by the end of 2027.

The project, authorised in 2023, combines utility-scale solar power with agricultural activity and is designed to align with Italy’s long-term energy strategy and broader EU decarbonisation objectives. The development incorporates elevated PV structures to support continued farming operations, enabling dual land use and long-term productivity, the company said in a statement.
Commenting on the development, Alessandro Migliorini, Director and Country Manager of Italy at European Energy, said, “The Vizzini project illustrates European Energy’s ability to advance complex renewable energy developments in Italy’s evolving power market. Its integrated design demonstrates how agricultural use can be maintained within large-scale solar developments.”
The Vizzini agri-PV project is planned to be operational by end of 2027. Once operational, the agri-PV installation is expected to become the largest solar park in Italy, exceeding the scale of previous grid-connected installations and contributing materially to Italy’s renewable generation capacity, the company stated.
Thorvald Spanggaard, Executive Vice President and Head of Project Development at European Energy, added, “This project reflects European Energy’s continued commitment to the Italian market and builds on the company’s development philosophy of combining green energy production with local economic development while maintaining agricultural activity in the area. The recent FERX auction result provides long-term revenue stability, enabling this investment decision.”
European Energy has previously developed several notable Italian projects, including the Troia solar park, connected to the grid in 2022, which at the time constituted the country’s largest solar installation, the company stated.
