Producing clean energy
Solar energy can be directly converted into electricity through photovoltaic technology, which uses solar panels equipped with semiconductor materials such as monocrystalline, polycrystalline, or amorphous silicon. This technology plays a key role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting a more sustainable energy system.
Through its solar power plants, EF Solare Italia generates approximately 1,400,000 MWh of clean energy annually—enough to meet the electricity needs of nearly 500,000 Italian households. This production helps prevent the release of more than 600,000 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere each year.
Expanding the use of renewable energy
The PNIEC (National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan) sets a target of installing more than 130 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with solar power playing a central role, contributing around 80 GW. To achieve this goal, Italy must install approximately 7 GW of additional solar capacity each year.
To ensure grid stability and resilience, the PNIEC also plans for more than 22.5 GW of energy storage capacity, supporting the efficient integration of renewable sources into the national electricity network.
A long-term commitment
Since its founding, EF Solare Italia has consistently invested in the integration of renewable energy into the national grid, aiming for 65% of final energy consumption to come from renewables.
The company’s installed capacity in Italy has steadily grown over the years, reaching 1,070 MW in 2024 and contributing to national decarbonization targets. EF Solare Italia is committed to further expansion, with an ambitious greenfield development plan aimed at doubling installed capacity in the coming years.
Developing skills for the future
The energy transition is driving the creation of a growing number of green jobs, particularly in the solar energy sector. To meet 2030 decarbonization goals, approximately 700,000 new jobs will be created in renewable energy industries.
EF Solare Italia actively supports education and workforce development by promoting solar energy training programs in secondary schools and participating in university master’s programs and postgraduate training initiatives.
Gender equality and pay equity
EF Solare Italia actively promotes inclusivity and gender equality, which are core principles of our company philosophy. Currently, more than 30% of our team is made up of women, a significant achievement in the renewable energy sector and within STEM professions.
