Private PPAs, Energy Release, and BESS: Inside Italy's Layered Power Market with Alice Cajani of Enfinity

Episode notes

Welcome back to The Pexapark Podcast! In the first part of the episode, Luca Pedretti sits down with Alice Cajani , General Manager of Enfinity Energy Europe, to discuss how Italy has become one of Europe's most active and most complex renewables markets. Enfinity has built its Italian business on private PPAs - including deals with Microsoft and Volkswagen - while layering in government-backed mechanisms such as Energy Release and FER X. The conversation explores how these public and private routes to market are starting to overlap, and how the market is shifting from rigid round-the-clock PPAs toward profiled contracts that better match a buyer's real consumption.
