Prysmian, a global leader in cable systems, has partnered with Edison Energia to secure a long-term supply of 100% renewable energy.
Under the agreement, Edison Energia will provide approximately 25% of Prysmian’s annual electricity consumption in Italy. The energy will come from a new 150 MWp photovoltaic plant in Viterbo province.
This partnership aligns with Prysmian’s broader sustainability strategy, which focuses on reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy adoption. By securing a stable supply of clean energy, the company aims to mitigate environmental impact while ensuring energy efficiency. The collaboration also highlights the growing importance of corporate renewable energy agreements in supporting the energy transition and achieving climate goals.
The European solar PPA market has seen increased corporate demand, with businesses seeking long-term renewable energy agreements to stabilise costs and reduce emissions. Italy, in particular, has experienced significant growth in utility-scale solar projects, reinforcing the country’s commitment to clean energy expansion.
Maria Cristina Bifulco, Chief Investor Relations, Sustainability and Communication Officer at Prysmian, stated: “This agreement is an important milestone in our journey in reducing our CO2 emissions.”
Laura Colli, Chief Purchasing Officer at Prysmian, added: “This agreement is a key component of Prysmian’s sourcing strategy, which emphasises building partnerships with a sustainable supplier base. By securing clean energy sources, we not only ensure a reliable supply chain but also make a positive impact on the environment, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for the new generations”
