Sorgenia SpA is an Italian company that specializes in the development of renewable energy projects in various sectors such as efficiency, supply side, solar, and wind. The company was founded in 1999 and has since then been at the forefront of the renewable energy industry in Italy. Sorgenia SpA is headquartered in Milan, Italy, and has a workforce of about 700 employees.
Efficiency: Supply Side
Sorgenia SpA is a leading player in the efficiency sector, specifically in the supply side. The company has developed several projects aimed at improving the efficiency of energy supply systems. One of the notable projects is the development of cogeneration plants. These plants generate electricity and heat simultaneously, resulting in significant energy savings. The company has developed cogeneration plants for various industries such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
Sorgenia SpA has also developed district heating systems that supply heat to buildings and homes. These systems are more efficient than traditional heating systems as they use waste heat from industrial processes, reducing energy consumption and costs. The company has developed district heating systems in several cities in Italy, including Milan, Turin, and Rome.
Solar
Sorgenia SpA has a significant presence in the solar sector. The company has developed several solar projects, including photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. PV plants generate electricity directly from sunlight using solar panels, while CSP plants use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, which then heats a fluid to generate electricity.
The company has developed several PV plants in Italy, with a total capacity of over 100 MW. One of the notable projects is the development of a 10 MW PV plant in Lazio, Italy. The plant is one of the largest in Italy and generates enough electricity to power over 5,000 homes.
Sorgenia SpA has also developed CSP plants in Italy. The company's first CSP plant, located in Sicily, has a capacity of 5 MW and uses parabolic trough technology. The plant generates electricity using mirrors that concentrate sunlight onto a receiver tube filled with a heat transfer fluid. The heated fluid is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity.
Wind
Sorgenia SpA has a significant presence in the wind sector. The company has developed several wind projects in Italy, with a total capacity of over 400 MW. The company's wind projects use both onshore and offshore wind turbines.
One of the notable projects is the development of an offshore wind farm in the Adriatic Sea. The wind farm has a capacity of 30 MW and uses 10 wind turbines. The wind farm generates enough electricity to power over 20,000 homes.
Sorgenia SpA has also developed onshore wind farms in Italy. The company's largest onshore wind farm, located in Apulia, has a capacity of 72 MW and uses 36 wind turbines. The wind farm generates enough electricity to power over 50,000 homes.
