The new joint-venture focuses on bringing together different operating PV solar plants owned by various financial institutions and private operators in the Italian PV market.

EGP hopes that the joint-venture will create value by reducing operating expenses and optimising energy management with its assets and expertise.

Furthermore, the company is seeking to further optimise its debt in order to seize new financial opportunities in a new low-interestmarket environment.

EGP can choose to acquire an additional 2.5% of the joint-venture, which willould give it control of the company.

The deal is expected to close by the end of this year, and remains subject to the approval of the EU antitrust authority.
