Westbridge Expands European Solar Portfolio with Italian Projects

Canadian solar developer Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp is planning to expand its European portfolio with two solar projects in Italy, adding a combined power generation capacity of 62 MW. The company has completed feasibility studies for the projects and secured land and grid access, with planning applications currently in progress. The projects include the 32 MW Gierre Solare Project in the Lazio region and the 30 MW NM Solare Project in the Lazio and Umbria regions. Westbridge aims to diversify its presence in Europe and expand its operations on the continent.

This move comes after Westbridge recently sold a 230 MW solar project in Alberta to Greek industrial group Mytilineos SA, as part of a larger portfolio sale in the Canadian province. The company sees Italy as a strong market with a favorable long-term outlook and believes it has the potential to become one of the leading renewable energy markets in Europe.
