Renantis | Business

Progressing in business is part of our DNA

While remaining focused on Renewable Energy generation, our business has gradually evolved over time, expanding its scope to include Development, Energy Services, Asset Management and Technical and Financial Consulting.

Business Model

Our Energy generation assets

We are an international pure play company working in the field of renewables. We handle the development, planning, construction and management of electricity generation plants.

Wind

We have 1096 MW of wind power installed in Italy, Spain, France, Sweden, Norway and the United Kingdom, where we rank among the major private operators in the field of renewable energy.

We operate successfully in a competitive and fast-growing market thanks to close collaboration with local developers in the initial stages of the project, through solid relationships with landowners and making use, wherever possible, of local suppliers.

We have PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) in place with important international players for selling the energy produced by some of our plants in the UK, Norway and Spain.

Our specific expertise in the financing, construction and operational management of wind plants makes it possible to undertake projects with high potential that protect the needs of the local communities at every stage, while fully respecting the environment.

PHOTOVOLTAICS

Our activity in the photovoltaics sector – with 278 MW installed in Italy, the United States and Spain– involves the management of plants that are currently in operation and the development of new projects with direct intervention or through joint ventures with leading companies at international level.

STORAGE SYSTEMS

In 2019, with the installation of the battery storage system (6.6 MWh) connected to our photovoltaic plant in Middleton, Massachusetts (USA), we entered the energy storage system sector, one of the smartest and most revolutionary markets at the service of the proper management, balancing and security of the grid for an increasingly decarbonized electricity system. 

BIOMASS AND WASTE TO ENERGY

BIOMASS AND WASTE-TO-ENERGY

We work in the biomass and waste-to-energy sector with 46 MW installed in Italy.

Of this installed power, there is 15 MW belong to the Rende biomass plant (Cosenza), 20 MW to the waste-to-energy plant in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan), and 11 MW to the waste-to-energy plant in Granarolo dell’Emilia (Bologna).

GREEN HYDROGEN

Green Hydrogen

We bring together renewable energy and green hydrogen to replace natural gas and reduce carbon emissions.

Our first project Life Cabezo Green H2 will take place in Spain and it aims to replace the natural gas used as a fuel to treat meat by-products with hydrogen (H2) technology to lower CO2 emissions.

An H2 production plant based on a water electrolysis technology will be installed in Muel (Zaragoza), one of Spain’s most significant industrial areas.

The production plant will be powered directly from the nearby 23.25 MW Cabezo San Roque Wind Farm and is expected to produce more than 100 tonnes of green H2 per year to decarbonise local industry.

Our offshore projects

Thanks to offshore wind energy, we are contributing to speed up the decarbonisation process and take full advantage of the wind resource. To do this, we have chosen experienced partners and selected the most suitable technology to meet the challenges of the future. We have started with the development of marine floating wind energy where we can make a difference.

Italy

With full respect for the environment and the landscape we have five areas of of interest in Italy, with an installed capacity of around 5 GW.

ASSET DEVELOPMENT

With Renantis Power Generation, we have chosen to make developing new projects both the foundation for our growth and a differential factor for the success of our initiatives. Everything we do revolves around partnerships - with landowners, local communities who live where our new plants will be, local developers, companies in the local area and public officials. We guarantee our respect, consideration and commitment to everyone we work with. By building on these foundations, we develop initiatives that are sustainable from both an environmental and economic point of view.

GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT

Our Green field development activities start with the identification of a site that can accommodate a wind or photovoltaic plant, looking at characteristics such as accessibility, distance from the grid, presence of the resource and topography of the land.

STAKEHOLDER’S ENGAGEMENT

The presence of our plants represents an opportunity for sustainable development for the areas in which we operate. We want to ensure that local communities draw additional benefits other than those strictly linked to the production of clean energy. Our aim is to promote initiatives by engaging with local stakeholders (communities, companies, associations and other local players) in order to maintain the value – both economic value and other types of value – it creates and to keep this in the areas in which it is generated.

PPA SUBSCRIPTION

A PPA is a long-term contract that governs the sale of energy between a renewable energy producer and a buyer (off-taker). Besides encouraging the development of new plants, PPAs enable off-takers to adequately manage market risk through long-term price stabilization and to achieve their environmental sustainability objectives.

SOLUTIONS

Through the activities of Renantis Solutions, we work alongside producers and consumers (public authorities, industry, the service sector and local communities), providing a comprehensive, flexible and innovative service along the entire energy supply chain.

We offer services related to optimal energy management for a more efficient use of available infrastructure and resources: long-term supply agreements (Power Purchase Agreements), offtaking, portfolio management services, development of advanced demand management solutions, energy communities, energy storage and grid services for energy production plants,
