Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security has given a positive environmental impact assessment to a planned 599 MW agrivoltaic plant in Puglia, subject to several conditions.
Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has granted a positive environmental impact assessment to a proposed 599 MW agrivoltaic plant.
The plant will be developed by Spanish company Solaria as part of its Spinazzola project in Puglia, southern Italy. The favourable opinion of the project was given via Decree 478/2026.
Solaria initially submitted an application to MASE in December 2024 for a 669.99 MW plant.
Following a review phase and opinions from both local authorities and Italy’s Ministry of Culture Superintendency, the plant’s capacity was gradually reduced first to 630.11 MW, then to 611 MW, and finally to its current 599 MW, meaning its planned capacity has been deducted by around 10% during the consultation phase.
