- **Summary:** White Energy Group and Elianto formed a nationwide partnership for energy-transition projects, combining White Energy's energy-efficiency and financing capabilities with Elianto's concentrated solar power technology and EPC expertise.

## Partnership overview

White Energy Group and Elianto, both with roots in Sardinia, signed a business partnership to offer services to companies throughout Italy.

White Energy is described as an ESCO specializing in consulting, implementation and support for companies pursuing energy efficiency and savings. It supports technology producers in renewable energy and energy efficiency through contractual models including Energy Performance Contracts and Power Purchase Agreements.

Elianto was established in 2007 as a spin-off of CRS4, the Center for Development and Advanced Studies in Sardinia. It operates as an Engineering, Procurement and Construction company and designs, builds and sells turnkey small-scale solar thermodynamic power plants for electricity and heat production.

## Concentrating solar power projects

The agreement covers the nationwide implementation of Concentrating Solar Power plants through EPC contracts financed by White Energy.

The projects are intended for sectors in which Elianto operates, including:

- Civil
- Commercial
- Agricultural
- Industrial

Elianto's plants are described as small-scale systems of up to 5 MWe.

## Commercial and financing model

Under the partnership, when White Energy signs an EPC contract with customers shared with Elianto, White Energy commits to purchasing the technology developed by Elianto.

White Energy will invest directly in plant construction. According to the page, this model is intended to remove the customer's upfront financial commitment and provide an energy price designed to compensate for price trends.

## Strategic objectives

White Energy presents the partnership as part of its approach to supporting industrial customers in their transition toward sustainability. The page connects this need with emission-reduction and climate-neutrality goals to 2050, energy-efficiency choices, energy supply decisions and technology transfer.

The company also identifies partnerships with producers of energy-efficiency and renewable-energy technologies as part of this strategy.

## Elianto's technology contribution

Elianto states that its accumulated knowledge and know-how support its competitiveness in concentrated solar power plants used to produce:

- Electricity
- Heat
- Cooling

The company describes the agreement with White Energy as a way to facilitate technology transfer and increase the diffusion of its products in the renewable-energy sector.
