A milestone in Puglia: 100+ MWp of agrivoltaics clears VIA
A milestone in Puglia: 100+ MWp of agrivoltaics clears VIA Today, we’re pleased to share an important milestone for two of our agrivoltaic projects in Puglia. CER01 (44.715 MWp, Cerignola) and ASC05 (55.40 MWp, spanning Ascoli Satriano, Cerignola and Melfi) have secured their VIA (Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale) environmental authorisation. Together, that’s more than 100 MWp of new solar capacity moving one step closer to construction. Part of a national moment Beyond the projects themselves, the wider context is equally significant. What makes this especially rewarding is the company our projects are keeping. CER01 and ASC05 were authorised as part of a wider tranche of renewable schemes approved by the Council of Ministers, on the proposal of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, on 4 June 2026. In all, the Council gave a positive environmental compatibility judgment to fourteen wind, solar and agrivoltaic projects — around 635 MW of capacity across Puglia, Lazio and Sardinia, with Puglia carrying the largest share at over 405 MW. That matters beyond our own pipeline. The decision reflects a growing willingness to move strategic renewable projects forward when they’ve been held up in the ordinary environmental assessment process — unblocking capacity that the country needs to keep its energy transition on track. We’re proud that our Puglia projects are part of that national progress. Why these projects are different Both CER01 and ASC05 are built around a dual-use model: solar generation paired with superintensive olive farming. The land keeps doing what Puglia’s land has always done — producing — while also generating clean power. Rather than replacing agriculture, these projects are designed to let farming and renewable energy work together on the same land. It’s a practical answer to one of the most important questions in the sector: how to deploy renewables at scale without taking productive farmland out of use. For national policy and local communities alike, that balance is exactly what good agrivoltaics should deliver. How we got here — and who with This milestone is the result of our joint venture with PowerGen, co-developed with StudioTecnicolt. Across the partnership, VOLT led on project management, acquisition, and project finance — taking both assets from origination through to a permitted, bankable, and investable stage. A word from our CEO, Duncan Bott: “Securing VIA authorisation for CER01 and ASC05 is a significant step forward, both for these two projects and for our agrivoltaic strategy in Puglia. Being part of this national tranche underlines the strategic importance of well-designed renewable projects — schemes that deliver clean energy while keeping agricultural land productive. We’re proud to be contributing to Italy’s energy transition, and we look forward to moving these assets toward construction and operation.” What happens next The VIA approval now feeds into the Autorizzazione Unica (AU) — the single authorisation that clears a project for construction. Under the applicable rules, the responsible administration is expected to issue the AU within 60 days, which keeps both projects moving on a clear and defined path toward the build phase. As shareholders in both projects, we intend to move toward building, owning, and operating these assets for the long term — strengthening VOLT’s position as an independent power producer in the Italian market, and adding to a growing pipeline of agrivoltaic and solar projects we’re developing across Italy. More to come as CER01 and ASC05 progress. For now, congratulations and thanks to everyone — across VOLT, PowerGen and StudioTecnicolt — who helped get us here.
Agrivoltaics: renewables that serve agriculture – VOLT at the II Edition Agrivoltaic Forum of Legambiente
Agrivoltaics: renewables that serve agriculture – VOLT at the II Edition Agrivoltaic Forum of Legambiente Yesterday in Rome, at the Agrivoltaic Forum promoted by Legambiente, VOLT took part in the day’s discussions. Speakers included European, national and regional institutional representatives, associations, the scientific community and companies. A shared position clearly emerged: agrivoltaics is a useful tool in the energy transition and, at the same time, a concrete support for the agricultural sector, which is currently struggling to manage rising costs, maintain profitability, and attract younger generations. The model integrates agricultural production with renewable energy without replacing farming activities, preserving the productive vocation of the land while, in many cases, improving management, profitability, and resilience to climate change. In this context, companies are already active, with applications across different crops and uses cereals, alfalfa, pasture, potatoes, vineyards, intensive olive groves, and legumes. VOLT is also working in this direction, developing projects that integrate energy and agricultural components starting from local conditions and in close collaboration with farmers. Agrivoltaics requires strong design capability and careful planning: integration into the landscape is not automatic, but the result of tailored solutions built around each context. The goal is not just to install energy infrastructure, but to enhance the productive capacity of the land and, where possible, contribute to biodiversity. Technology is also playing a key role: electronic components, monitoring systems, and dedicated software are supporting the development of agrivoltaics and the evolution of agricultural practices, including mechanization. Key enablers for scaling the sector include streamlined permitting processes, regulatory certainty, adequate grid infrastructure for connections, and continuous dialogue with local stakeholders. A note of appreciation to Legambiente for bringing focus and substance to such a relevant topic. Find out more about our approach to agrivoltaics on our dedicated page.
Training, Innovation and People: VOLT’s Approach to Continuous Development
Training, Innovation and People: VOLT’s Approach to Continuous Development In today’s rapidly evolving environment, companies are required not only to adapt, but to continuously develop their internal capabilities.At VOLT, this translates into a strong focus on people, training, and organizational growth. Continuous learning is a core element of how VOLT operates: not as a one-off activity, but as an ongoing process that supports both individual development and overall company performance. Within this framework, participating in external initiatives — such as the Innovation Training Summit 2026 organized by EFI Italia — represents one of the ways we stay aligned with evolving methodologies and market practices. Representing VOLT was our HR Manager, Teresa, who attended selected sessions to explore how training models are evolving in response to new technological and organizational challenges. At VOLT, HR plays a central role in enabling growth, supporting teams, and ensuring that people are equipped to operate in increasingly dynamic and complex environments. This means investing in skills development, fostering a positive working environment, and promoting continuous alignment between people, processes, and evolving business needs. Technological innovation — including AI — is part of this evolution, but always in support of people: a tool to enhance capabilities, not a substitute for them. Our approach is based on integration: combining technical expertise, continuous training, and a strong team culture to address new challenges with consistency and structure. “People will increasingly be at the center of organizations, and technology will act as an enabler of both performance and well-being.”– Teresa Sacco, VOLT HR Manager At VOLT, investing in people means building the foundations for long-term growth — ensuring that innovation, skills, and organizational development evolve together.

Women in Renewable Energy: Building a More Balanced Energy Transition
Women in Renewable Energy: Building a More Balanced Energy Transition Women in Renewable Energy: Building a More Balanced Energy Transition March 8 – skills, leadership and responsibility in the renewable energy sector On International Women’s Day, we reflect on how the energy transition is not only technological, but also organisational — and why valuing all available talent is essential to building stronger renewable energy projects. The energy transition is often discussed in terms of technology, infrastructure and investment. But it is also about people: the skills, perspectives and leadership needed to design, permit and build the energy systems of the future. In the video accompanying this article, one of our colleagues is carrying out a site inspection for a photovoltaic development project — assessing land that could host the next generation of renewable energy infrastructure. It is a simple moment of everyday work. Yet it reflects a broader reality about how the sector is evolving. Across the global renewables industry, women represent around one third of total employment. According to the 2025 Renewable Energy: A Gender Perspective report published by IRENA, women account for 32% of the workforce and only 19% of senior management roles. Representation tends to decrease as levels of responsibility increase. In the Italian photovoltaic sector, the latest ITALIA SOLARE survey (2023) shows that women represent 36% of employees in the companies analysed. A meaningful figure for a highly technical and industrial sector, yet still not fully balanced in core technical and decision-making functions. The issue, therefore, is not only how many talents enter the sector. It is how they are valued — and how far they can grow. The Women in Energy – WEC Italia Manifesto (February 2026) outlines a number of principles that can help shape the future of the sector: embedding equality into corporate values, ensuring fair access to leadership roles, transparency in career paths, support for shared parenthood and systematic monitoring of gender data. These are not symbolic statements. They are operational levers that allow companies to build stronger organisations: clearer career paths, measurable objectives, mentoring and training programmes, and policies that support work-life balance and shared responsibility. Because the energy transition is not only technological. It is also organisational and cultural. Within this context, VOLT has adopted a clear approach. Today, more than 50% of our team are women, working across technical development, permitting, finance and governance. Not a quota. A deliberate organisational model. Our colleagues are directly involved in project development, regulatory structuring, economic analysis and strategic decision-making. These are roles that shape the quality of projects and the long-term strength of the company. For a project developer, the quality of decisions directly determines the quality of projects — and that is where diverse perspectives make a real difference. We believe that diverse teams build better companies — and better energy projects. For us, March 8 is not symbolic. It is operational. The energy transition will only succeed if the sector is able to recognise, develop and value all available talent. At VOLT, this is the way we work every day. If you would like to contribute to building the energy transition with us, you can explore our open positions and submit your application here.
VOLT Infrastructure at Fieragricola 2026
Agrivoltaics Moves Into the Operational Phase: VOLT Infrastructure at Fieragricola 2026 VOLT Infrastructure took part in Fieragricola 2026, one of Italy’s leading trade fairs for the agricultural and agri-food sector, engaging with landowners, partners, and stakeholders interested in innovative energy models applied to land use. Over the four days of the event, the stand was consistently busy with meetings and direct discussions. The most significant insight that emerged from these conversations was a clear market shift: the focus is no longer just on what agrivoltaics is, but on how projects are actually developed and implemented. The team presented the company’s approach to photovoltaic development and agrivoltaic solutions, exploring: sustainable land valorization models partnership structures with landowners long-term investment opportunities The event proved to be a valuable opportunity for dialogue and exchange, confirming growing interest across Italy in energy infrastructures that integrate with agricultural activity while generating economic, environmental, and territorial value. Thanks to everyone who visited the stand and shared ideas, questions, and experiences with the Volt Infrastructure team.

VOLT at LookOut48: Renewable Energy Market enters the Execution Phase
VOLT at LookOut48: Renewable Energy Market enters the Execution Phase Yesterday in Milan, three members of VOLT Infrastructure‘s management team participated in LookOut48 Q1.26 | Dancing in the Rain, the industry event organised by elemens dedicated to regulatory developments and prospects for renewable energy in Italy. The discussion focused on the corrective decree DL 175/2025, with particular attention to the reduction of the role of PAS, the strengthening of the Single Authorisation (AU), the updating of the rules for suitable and ordinary areas, and the possible development trajectories of the BESS market. Elemens presented an analysis describing a renewable energy sector that is growing steadily but becoming increasingly structured, selective and quality-oriented. Authorisation volumes for photovoltaics are on the rise, supported by more functional national processes, while battery storage systems are taking on a strategic role on a significant scale. Recent regulatory developments — from suitable areas to agrivoltaics and authorisation processes — are redefining project development and evaluation criteria. The picture that emerges is not one of a slowdown, but of a maturing market. With the evolution of regulations and greater visibility on grid constraints, value is increasingly shifting to execution: site quality, grid access, soundness of the authorisation strategy and actual project feasibility. Looking ahead, ARERA’s revision of the TICA rules represents a key step in addressing the issue of “virtual saturation”, promoting the development of concrete and feasible projects without compromising the attractiveness of investments in Italy and the EU. Overall, Italy remains a dynamic and competitive market for photovoltaics and storage systems, where experience, knowledge of the territory and discipline in development are key factors. It was a stimulating discussion, rich in ideas.Thanks to the speakers and the elemens team — especially Tommaso Barbetti and Andrea Marchisio.
