The first agreement, worth over 19 million euros, provides for the construction of a photovoltaic plant of 75.5 MWp near Viterbo, including the supply of trackers, and involves the use of technology designed and made by Comal.

The client is also, in this case, a foreign investment fund, and the contractual formula is that of EPC-M and O&M.
Alfredo Balletti, Comal's CEO, commented: “These two contracts represent a reason of great satisfaction for us. They are the first ones after the recent listing on the stock exchange on December 16th, in which context we communicated to the market that the main objective was to continue the growth path recorded in recent years. The development of the new photovoltaic parks, which will be built by 2021, confirms the interest on the part of investors to believe and support this type of technology, which is experiencing a strong expansion in Italy and in Europe and could accelerate with the approval of the Recovery Fund which explicits the need to increase investments in alternative energy.”
