Summary
Italy’s early solar boom (2005–2015) is now facing a new challenge: aging PV plants. In this Ogami Station episode, Angie talks with Juanmi Sierra (Territory Manager for Italy, CEE & Balkans) about repowering, upgrading modules, inverters, or adding trackers to boost yield without expanding land use. We unpack the drivers in Italy, key regulatory + grid constraints (including Terna’s €23B plan), and how a portfolio approach can unlock major gains, like +43% energy output. Working in solar development, engineering, or asset management? This one’s for you. Follow Ogami Station for more on the energy transition.
