The move is set to accelerate OPRI’s expansion and reinforce its status as a prominent independent power producer in the Italian renewable energy market.

The initial commitment of €46m, with the potential to increase to €100m, marks a crucial step for OPRI in its quest to drive growth within the sector.

Akereos, the sole bookrunner, structurer, and exclusive debt advisor for OPRI, facilitated the financial arrangement.

OPRI chief executive Guido Cuzzolin said: “The proceeds of this bond will drive the completion of development and construction to power up to 400,000 homes in Italy.
