Capabilities

What we do

End-to-end technical advisory for every phase of a renewable energy investment in Italy, from site selection to operating asset due diligence.

01

Site Intelligence

Site selection driven by data, not by intuition.

Geospatial analysis of candidate sites for PV, BESS, hybrid and agrivoltaic plants across Italy. Proprietary database with cadastral, environmental, landscape, infrastructure and grid constraints. Automatic critical proximity alerts that traditional DD detects in weeks.

  • Complete constraint mapping (PAI, Natura 2000, landscape, urban)
  • DM Aree Idonee 21/06/2024 classification
  • Primary substation analysis and residual grid capacity
  • Cluster analysis across multi-site portfolios
  • Bankable report with confidence scoring for every data point
02

Permitting & Authorization

The difference between 18 and 48 months of process.

Concrete authorization map for your Italian project. We identify the correct path, realistic timelines for each phase, critical stakeholders and risk points by region. We know the local practices, the real timing of service conferences and the habits of cultural heritage offices.

  • Authorization path mapping (PAUR, AU 28/2011, PAS)
  • Realistic timeline with buffer for objections and integrations
  • Stakeholder map for every authority involved
  • Risk register on regional specificities
  • EIA/SEA pre-screening and service conference support
03

Feasibility & Business Case

From load profile to bankability in one week.

Techno-economic pre-feasibility for C&I and utility-scale investments. Quarter-hourly load profile analysis, preliminary PV and BESS sizing with ILR matrix, integrated business case with NPV, IRR, payback and three-scenario sensitivity. We support the client up to filing, we do not sign the executive project.

  • Load profile analysis (quarter-hour EDL or bills)
  • Preliminary PV and BESS sizing, optimal ILR matrix
  • Business case NPV, IRR, payback with 3-scenario sensitivity
  • Technology scenarios comparison with self-consumption metrics
  • Incentives plan (Transition 5.0, PNRR) and grid connection path
04

Asset Due Diligence

Bankable, signed, adversarial tested.

Technical due diligence for buy-side and sell-side transactions on operating, under-construction or ready-to-build renewable assets. Every analysis goes through adversarial modules that simulate the bank reviewer and the technical counterparty before closing. What we find first, the counterparty does not find later.

  • Vendor DD and Buy-side DD for PV, wind, BESS, hybrid
  • Risk semaphore across four dimensions: technical, authorization, financial, environmental
  • Residual CAPEX and performance gap analysis
  • Bankability report with declared confidence levels
  • Documented adversarial tests

Permitting Reality Check

How long will it really take in Italy?

Realistic permitting timelines for your Italian project. Region, technology, size. Get a reality check in 4 seconds based on historical timing and regional specificities.

A live sample of the tooling we use internally. Not a substitute for due diligence, a head start for it.

Deliverables

Our edge

Why work with us

Five reasons that change how you approach a renewable investment in Italy.

  • 01

    Compressed time-to-decision

    From brief to first assessment in a fraction of the market standard. Same rigor, same quality.

  • 02

    Parallel pipeline screening

    We assess multi-site portfolios simultaneously. You filter opportunities on objective criteria before committing capital.

  • 03

    Discovery ready before senior engineering

    You meet electrical engineers and legal advisors with the permitting picture, realistic timelines and known risks already mapped. Engineering works better and costs less.

  • 04

    Independence of judgment

    With our deliverables you critically assess proposals from developers, EPCs, off-takers. No more information asymmetry with whoever is pitching the deal.

  • 05

    Your operational terminal in Italy

    For those coming from abroad, the real information isn't online. Senior consultants with a decade of experience and proprietary tooling, as your single point of contact on the ground.

Method

How we work

A coherent protocol that delivers value proportional to the complexity of the problem.

  1. 01

    Structured intake

    We surface the real underlying question, not just the apparent one. We never sell before we understand.

  2. 02

    Specialist routing

    We activate the right competences for the mandate, without overlap and without gaps. Integration is protocol, not goodwill.

  3. 03

    Multi-dimensional analysis

    Every perspective is attributed and recognizable. Risks come before advantages, always. We declare the certainty level of every recommendation.

  4. 04

    Client decides

    We present motivated options with our recommendation. The final decision is always yours. Proactive updates continue over time.

Integration, transparency, rigor.
