EOS Investment Management Group, through its IPP Lexham Power, has acquired a 51% stake in Innovo Agri. The business will be renamed NT Innovo Agri, with Innovo Capital Partners (39%) and Nextitude (10%) retaining minority positions.

The core move is clear: EOS is internalising execution across the agrivoltaic value chain.

NT Innovo Agri will oversee everything from agronomic consulting and project design to procurement, construction oversight, operational management, and compliance monitoring. It positions the platform as a single counterparty for both agricultural and energy components, explicitly targeting productivity, regulatory compliance, and bankability.

Commercially, this reduces execution risk at a time when agrivoltaics is moving from concept to scale in Italy. Permitting complexity, agricultural integration, and evolving compliance standards have slowed capital deployment. By consolidating advisory, development, and operational capabilities under one platform, EOS is tightening control over delivery and financing outcomes.

Lexham has stated plans to complete over 0.5 GW of largely agrivoltaic solar capacity within 24–36 months. Owning the operating stack improves certainty on timelines, cost control, and lender confidence.

This signals a broader shift: capital is no longer backing fragmented developers. It is backing integrated platforms that can originate, build, and manage hybrid energy assets end-to-end.
