Acea Solar, a company entirely controlled by Acea production, continues its growth in the renewable energy sector with the entry into production of two new photovoltaic systems in Lazio. The two solar parks, located respectively in the municipalities of Nepi and Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo, have one overall capacity of about 12 MW.
This initiative represents a further step forward in the ACEA strategy for the expansion of renewable energies and support for the country’s energy transition.
But what are the characteristics of these systems and what impact will they have on the environment and on the local electricity grid?

The details of the photovoltaic systems in Viterbo
The plants of Nepi and Bomarzo were made with advanced technologies, including double-sided modules and mono-axial chase systems. This solution allows you to optimize energy production keeping the occupied surface unchanged.
Another fundamental aspect is the integration in the landscape context: Acea has developed projects taking into account the morphological and environmental characteristics of the territory, avoiding negative impacts on local ecosystems.
Let’s see in detail the characteristics of each plant.

The Nepi photovoltaic park: numbers and advantages
The Nepi photovoltaic system is the largest of the two, with one installed power of 10 MW. Designed and made entirely by Acea Solar, it has an estimated annual production of about 18 GWH, sufficient energy to cover the needs of about 7,000 families.
One of the most relevant aspects is the environmental benefit: thanks to this system, you will avoid the emission of 7,336 tons of CO₂ per year compared to an equivalent production from fossil sources.
The park extends over an area of about 14 hectares and benefits from the incentives provided by the energy services manager (GSE), thus guaranteeing economic as well as environmental sustainability.

The Bomarzo plant: an essential contribution to the energy transition
The Bomarzo photovoltaic system has one installed capacity of 2.4 MWwith a pre -awaited production of 4.4 GWh/year. This means that it will be able to cover the needs of about 1,600 families, contributing to the reduction of 1,760 tons of CO₂ per year.
Also in this case, the project was developed with particular attention to respect for the territory and local ecosystems, minimizing the landscape impact. The plant extends over an area of 4 hectares and, like that of Nepi, benefits from the incentive remuneration of the GSE.

Solar energy in Acea growth strategy
Acea is focusing more and more decisively on renewable energies, with the aim of increasing its photovoltaic portfolio. In 2023, the overall capacity installed in photovoltaics reached 101 MW and the company involves further expanding production with a pipeline of about 870 MW by the end of 2024.
The entry into operation of the plants of Nepi and Bomarzo demonstrates the concrete commitment of the group in supporting the country’s energy transition, contributing to the reduction of emissions and to sustainable development.
Will Acea be able to achieve its ambitious growth objectives in the renewable sector? The evolution of the energy market and institutional support will be key factors for the success of the ecological transition.
