EGP was awarded the right to develop solar projects on military land in Sardinia and Salerno under a tender process operated by Difesa Servizi, the ministry’s commercial arm.

The sites total 190 hectares and offer good solar radiation levels, says EGP, which did not specify a construction schedule.

The Sardinia site at Teulada, Cagliari, is near Portoscuso, where EGP is currently building Italy's largest wind farm at 90MW.
