The global renewable energy sector continues to expand through large-scale infrastructure developments and strategic acquisitions. In the United States, Enel has finalized its $760 million acquisition of an 810 MW solar portfolio from Excelsior Energy Capital. This transaction is expected to produce an annual output of approximately 1.6 TWh and contribute roughly $90 million per year to Enel’s consolidated ordinary EBITDA. This follows previous agreements made in February 2026 for wind and solar portfolios exceeding 1 GW. Enel aims to exceed 13 GW of installed renewable capacity in North America once remaining wind capacity acquisitions close in the fourth quarter of 2026. Further expanding its US footprint, Enel Green Power North America completed has finalized the acquisition of seven a solar photovoltaic sites portfolio in the Southern United States. Initially agreed upon in May 2026, this $140 million The deal includes 240 MW of involves seven operational plants with a total installed capacity producing of approximately 270 MW and an average annual output of around 0.4 TWh annually. The transaction, which TWh. Valued at an enterprise value of approximately $140 million, the transaction included $180 million in Group an impact on the group's net financial debt, debt of roughly $180 million and is projected to contribute roughly approximately $20 million annually to Enel’s ordinary EBITDA. This acquisition follows a separate acquisition purchase of 625 MW of operational solar projects in Utah and Tennessee from Excelsior Energy Capital. In Europe, Qualitas Energy has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Cero Generation’s European platform from Macquarie Group. The 5.8 GW portfolio spans the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain, comprising over 2 GW of operational or near-ready assets and a 3.8 GW development pipeline. Italy has seen a significant surge in solar capacity, with 3.1 GW installed in the first half of 2026. Contributions to this growth include Poste Italiane, which has surpassed 1,000 photovoltaic installations totaling 31,700 kWp, with a target of 1,300 plants by year-end. Additionally, the GreenIT joint venture—owned by Plenitude and CDP Equity—has commenced production at two solar parks in the Piedmont region.
