Company
A focused, data driven, industrialised, early stage, utility scale Renewable Project development company in Europe.
About us
SPIN Solar is a leading developer of utility scale renewable energy assets in Europe with a focus on Italy. We specialize in the greenfield development of renewable energy projects from inception to Ready to Build (RTB). Operating at gigawatt scale, our focus allows us to become a clear partner of choice to both EPCs and IPPs.
We take a data driven approach to identify suitable locations across Italy and Central and Eastern Europe. This approach enables us to operate at a nationwide scale, deliver projects to the Ready to Build (RTB) stage faster and with lower levels of project morbidity compared to other developers. We have a track record of going from initial grid application and land identification to Ready to Build (RTB) in less than 12 months.
Highly process driven, with a strong governance model and with significant financial backing, we are able to scale at a rate never before seen in the renewable development industry.
Our goal is to become the most trusted renewable energy development partner to major power producers in Europe and play our role in helping them collectively reach multi terawatt capacity across Europe by 2030.

Capabilities
SPIN Solar has a strategic focus on greenfield development of renewable energy projects with full in-house capabilities to perform all activities related to:
1
In depth grid analysis & capacity allocation
2
Securing land for the identified grid capacity
3
Securing capacity on the grid
4
Planning, engineering and permitting of the project
5
Project authorization until Ready to Build
Ready to Build
We holistically identify, evaluate and de-risk all relevant project aspects while taking our projects from inception to Ready to Build (RTB).
Our goal is to create high quality, easy to buy projects for our buyers, in the fastest possible timeframe. We have a proven ability to go from initial land selection and grid application to fully permitted ready to build status in less than 12 months on utility scale projects, defined as 50MW+
Our key strengths
Excellence in the early development of renewable energy projects.
We specialize in greenfield development of renewable energy projects from inception to Ready to Build (RTB).
We strive for excellence in every aspect needed for the successful early development of renewable energy projects.
Our key differentiators are deep in-house expertise of the grid, careful land selection process and our proven renewable project development methodology.
Grid connection is the lifeblood of every renewable project.
Our project opportunity assessments are based on our in-depth analysis of the grid.
We diligently profile and select opportunities for renewable projects based on actual and anticipated capacity of the TSO (Transmission System Operator).
Our grid and land analysis is based on a holistic data-driven model covering all relevant project aspects including land zoning and planning processes.
We increase the project value across the project implementation timeline.
We review each of our projects from the perspective of our potential buyers’ lifetime IRR to ensure we make decisions early in a project’s lifecycle and maximise long term value.
Our people make the difference.
We have an outstanding team with significant market experience and the highest levels of expertise to perform all development activities and successfully take projects from inception to Ready to Build (RTB) stage, increasing the project value across the project implementation timeline
Our team expertise includes:
- site identification
- grid analysis
- constraints analysis
- financial modelling
- project feasibility analysis
- project planning and engineering
- permitting
Our partner network is paramount for the success.
Long-term trusted relationships with key partners and stakeholders in our chosen regions enable us smooth and collaborative project development.
By working together, we bring our projects to a fully consented Ready to Build (RTB) stage.
We handle local development aspects and bring Ready to Build (RTB) projects to our corporate buyers.
We are able to handle local complexities related to land, grid and planning and at the same time understand the needs of large buyers.
Our local teams build and maintain hyper local relationships while our internal M&A team what large corporations require to buy a utility scale portfolio of ready to build projects.
This combined ability reduces friction for our buyers and speeds up their ability to reach their 2030 renewables goals.

Environmental, Social and Governance
Our goal is to create high quality, easy to buy projects for our buyers, in the fastest possible timeframe, and in doing so, contribute to energy independence in Europe and a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from energy production.
SPIN Solar aims to accelerate the European energy transition by developing renewable power plants in environmentally sustainable European sites close to the electricity grid. Our projects are designed in synergy with the environmental context of the site and locally present industrial and economic activities.
We want to contribute to regional energy transition via refurbishment of degraded sites, optimization of energy bill, local labour activities, reduction of the carbon footprint and increase of energy production in the agricultural setting.
With our development of agrovoltaic power plants, we want to support local communities in becoming energy independent and self-sufficient in terms of food by implementing agricultural production.
We collaborate with universities and research centres to facilitate agricultural sovereignty and the growth of the energy communities, fundamental elements of the energy transition.
We support and report annually against the following UN Sustainable Development Goals
