Korkia’s JV, Biko Renewable Energy, has sold a 10.7 MW portfolio of fully permitted solar PV projects in Lombardy. The package includes three sites — 4.4 MW, 3.5 MW, and 2.8 MW — spanning ground-mounted and agri-PV configurations. All assets are ready for construction and expected to generate around 15 GWh annually once operational.

The signal is clear: ready-to-build solar in Italy is liquid. Capital is prioritizing permitted, grid-secured projects over development-stage risk.

This is Korkia’s second Italian divestment this year. The company retains roughly 800 MW in mid- to late-stage development across Italy, including 200 MW solar and 600 MW BESS. The model is disciplined: originate, permit, de-risk, exit at construction-ready.

Commercially, this reflects two pressures. First, permitting and grid queues remain bottlenecks. Second, buyers want execution certainty. Fully permitted portfolios reduce timeline risk and financing friction, particularly in markets like Italy where policy support and capture prices remain constructive.

For developers, the takeaway is structural. Value is being realized at RtB, not earlier. For buyers, the competition for clean, construction-ready assets will intensify — especially as hybrid and agri-PV formats align with land-use constraints and regulatory preferences.
