Complete revamping and repowering of the existing plant

Brescia

THE PROJECT

The project carried out at the S.A. Eredi Gnutti Metalli S.p.A. plant in Brescia involved the complete revamping and repowering of the photovoltaic system, which began operating in 2011, with the goal of restoring its performance following the weather events of 2023 and significantly increasing its efficiency.

The project increased the installed capacity from 4,839 kWp to 6,687 kWp, with an expected annual output of 6,809 MWh (of which 1,847 kWp is currently awaiting grid connection authorization)

The site has also been equipped with a 3,946 kWp ground-mounted photovoltaic system, capable of generating 5,053 MWh per year.

Overall, the project strengthens the site’s energy self-sufficiency and reaffirms the company’s commitment to sustainability and the decarbonization of industrial processes.

THE CHALLENGE

The project required a highly specialized approach, as it involved working on a large-scale facility that was already in operation while ensuring operational continuity.

Further complications arose from:

  • Further complications arose from:
  • the need to integrate new, high-efficiency technologies across a broad and complex scope,
  • by optimizing the electrical design to maximize production without increasing operational risks.

This project represents another strategic step forward in our Brescia plant’s transition to self-generation from renewable sources. The project has enabled us to restore and upgrade a key asset, significantly improving renewable energy production and strengthening the overall sustainability of our industrial system.
