METLEN has completed construction of the San Severo solar park in Italy’s Puglia region.

The 12 MWp project is expected to generate 21.97GWh of electricity annually, meeting the energy needs of approximately 7,846 households.

The company delivered the project under its Asset Rotation Model, managing Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC).

The site uses bifacial solar panels, which METLEN describes as “some of the most advanced technologies currently available in the renewable energy sector.”

METLEN credited the successful delivery to both its technical expertise and support from local partners. “Close collaboration with local partners in Puglia” played a key role, the company said, “actively contributing to the regional economy and community development.”

The new park adds to METLEN’s growing presence in Italy, where it oversees a portfolio of 130 projects. These total approximately 3GW of capacity and are scheduled for completion within the next four years.

Earlier in 2025, METLEN completed the Carcarello and Tarquinia solar parks in Lazio. Combined, those projects supply 89GWh annually – enough to power 24,700 households.

“Italy remains a strategic pillar of METLEN’s European growth strategy,” the company said, citing the country’s strong renewables sector and supportive regulatory landscape.

METLEN added that it is continuing to “invest in innovative solutions that accelerate the energy transition toward a sustainable and resilient future.”
