## Renewable Energy Community project

Whitenergy states that it is establishing its first managed Renewable Energy Community in Arena Po, in the province of Pavia. The initiative is presented as part of the group's work on energy efficiency, renewable-energy plants, and environmental sustainability for industrial companies.

The photovoltaic plant is planned on land adjacent to the A21, described on the page as the Wine Highway, in an area classified as suitable and within 300 metres.

## Photovoltaic system

| Project detail | Value |
|---|---:|
| Planned photovoltaic modules | 2,350 |
| Total capacity | About 1 MWp |
| Expected annual production | 1,280 MWh |
| Location | Arena Po, province of Pavia |

## Shared energy and incentives

The electricity produced by the plant is intended to be shared with partners and members of the energy community through a diffuse self-consumption configuration. The page states that participants will be able to access state incentives supporting electricity generated from renewable-energy plants.

Giovanni Tellini, Whitenergy partner and administrator of We Build Energy, explains that the electricity can be used in the production processes of small businesses or shared among participating households, creating economic and social benefits for the local community.

## Project development and schedule

The page states that final authorization for construction was obtained on November 27 and that establishment of the energy community was scheduled for February 2025.

Development of the plant is assigned to We Build Energy srl, a Whitenergy Group company that builds turnkey photovoltaic systems, mainly for industrial clients.

## Purpose and future development

According to Giovanni Tellini, the purpose of the energy community is not to generate high financial profits but to create environmental, economic, and social benefits for members, partners, and the territory where it operates.

Whitenergy presents the Arena Po initiative as a first step toward a community capable of operating at national level in accordance with the principles referenced on the page and subsequent GSE clarification.

Gianluigi Mele, CEO of Whitenergy, highlights the potential of a national energy community and diffuse self-consumption to contribute to 2030 renewable-energy and CO2-reduction objectives referenced by the PNIEC and the European Green Deal.
