Sicily is now home to Italy's largest solar farm
Reported byElectrek ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Spain's Iberdrola opened a 243-megawatt solar farm in Sicily generating approximately 400,000 megawatt-hours annually—enough to power over 140,000 homes. The project uses 413,000 bifacial solar panels and surpasses Italy's previous largest facility by 73 MW.
Permitting delays and grid connection bottlenecks continue to challenge solar expansion across Italy, despite this project's completion.
