Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA), the listed interna=onal energy produc=on and development company, is pleased to announce the acquisi=on of an addi=onal agrivoltaic solar energy development project located in the Lazio region of Italy (the "Lazio Acquisi>on").
| Project / Stage | Capacity (MWp) |
Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liguria Solar Asset | 0.5 | Produc=on Upgrade |
Currently producing 0.2 MWp, upgrade to 0.5 MWp planned. |
| Puglia Solar Asset | 3.0 | Ready-to-Build | All permits obtained, grid connec=on ready, announced on July 30, 2025. |
| Piedmont Agrivoltaic Project |
10.0 | Development | Reclassified from agrivoltaic to photovoltaic as announced on August 22, 2025. |
| Lazio Agrivoltaic Projects 15.0 | Development | First Lazio acquisi=on (10 MWp) announced Aug 6, 2025. Second acquisi=on (5 MWp) announced on August 27, 2025. |
|
| Piedmont Agrivoltaic Development Projects |
30.0 | Development | Mul=-site acquisi=on announced on August 11, 2025. |
| Total PorYolio | 58.5 |
Zenith has commissioned a financial projec=on, from an expert consultant in the Italian solar energy industry, to forecast revenues from a 55 MWp solar energy porPolio, applying an assump=on of an alloca=on of 40 MWp in the North of Italy and 15 MWp in the Southern and Central part of the Italian peninsula and using EEX power futures for 2026–2035 (the "Study"). The Study projects annual genera=on of 97,795 MWh and average revenues of about EUR 9 million per year from 2026–2031, easing to roughly EUR 8 million per year thereager. Over the first decade of opera=on, this equates to an es=mated EUR 85.5 million in gross revenue, with a total expected infrastructure life expectancy of approximately 25 years.
"The addi)on of a second agrivoltaic project in Lazio increases our regional development capacity to 15 MWp and marks a further step in strengthening Zenith's Italian solar porColio.
Together with our development pipeline in Piedmont, the Lazio Acquisi)on establishes two development clusters in the two most aKrac)ve regions of Italy for solar energy produc)on. This cluster approach is expected to drive opera)ng efficiencies, improve development and construc)on economics, and enhance longterm porColio value.
We remain focused on a disciplined, step-by-step strategy to build a diversified, scalable and cash-genera)ve solar porColio. Based the recent Study commissioned by the Company, a porColio of 55 MWp is projected to generate approximately EUR 8–9 million per annum at steady state once fully opera)onal.
We will con)nue to grow assets under management as opportuni)es arise to build an opera)on with substan)al realisable value that delivers sustainable value for shareholders."
