Swiss energy company Sunwin Energy has reached a framework agreement with an undisclosed European firm to sell its 375MW solar portfolio in Italy.
The solar portfolio consists of 15 mid-stage, ground-mounted solar photovoltaic projects, which Sunwin Energy has been developing in the region in recent years.

The projects are expected to start coming online between next year and 2026, with each project’s capacity ranging from 10MW to 75MW.
The deal for the 15 solar assets has been structured as a conditional sale and purchase agreement.
Sunwin Energy said the projects are ‘well-diversified’ and include industrial sites, landfills and agro-photovoltaic projects.
Sunwin Energy managing director Lars Konersmann said: “We are pleased to enter into this new partnership with an international and reputable player for a significant part of our 1GW portfolio in development.
