GreenGo Wins Approval for 19.5-MW Agrivoltaic in Calabria
May 4, 2026 10:21 AM ET
- GreenGo wins approval for a 19.5-MW agrivoltaic solar project in Calabria, targeting 36 GWh/year by 2028. Single-axis tracking powers 13,300 homes and expands its renewable pipeline.
Italian independent power producer GreenGo said it has received approval for a 19.5-MW agrivoltaic solar project in southern Italy. The Canalicchi site is in Calabria’s Crotone province and obtained Single Regional Authorisation (PAUR), clearing the way for construction. Commissioning is targeted for the first half of 2028.
The project, developed via special purpose vehicle Solux Srl, will use single-axis tracking and is expected to generate about 36 GWh annually, enough for roughly 13,300 households. GreenGo said the approval boosts its Calabria footprint, where it has about 360 MW in a pipeline across 14 wind and solar projects, plus three solar projects totaling 20 MW already under construction.
What does approval of GreenGo’s 19.5-MW Calabria agrivoltaic project enable for 2028?
- Commissioning of the 19.5-MW Canalicchi agrivoltaic plant in Calabria is set to land in the first half of 2028.
- The PAUR approval enables GreenGo (through Solux Srl) to move into the construction phase and proceed toward grid connection and commissioning activities ahead of that 2028 timetable.
- By bringing the facility online in 2028, the project is positioned to add roughly 19.5 MW of dispatchable “installed” renewable capacity capacity to the region’s solar portfolio.
- The agrivoltaic configuration supports long-term co-use of land in the Crotone province—helping preserve agricultural activity while generating electricity—through operations that begin in 2028.
- With an annual production target of about 36 GWh, the plant is expected to contribute materially to 2028 clean-power supply in Calabria.
- The approval helps expand GreenGo’s operating and near-term development pipeline in Calabria, reinforcing the company’s ability to meet growing regional renewable demand by 2028 and beyond.
- The project’s single-axis tracking design under the approved scope means it can be built to optimize energy yield, with 2028 commissioning intended to realize those performance expectations.
