The stand-alone storage system will be connected to the 150 kV SE San Sostene electrical node in Calabria and will interface bidirectionally with the national grid, charging during hours of peak renewable energy availability and returning it during peak demand periods.
San Sostene was acquired by Green Go in 2024, with the company subsequently managing the engineering and authorisation development, transforming it in less than 18 months into a fully approved asset, with authorisation granted 13 months after the application was submitted.
This brings the company’s share of BESS systems authorised in the last six months to 200 MW, and the total number of projects authorised to 250 MW.
“San Sostene is a clear example of how an M&A transaction, guided by a vision of industrial development, can generate concrete value in a short time” said Alberto Piva, Business Development and M&A Director at GreenGo. “In fact, in just over a calendar year, we obtained the Single Authorisation, transforming the investment into a strategic asset perfectly positioned on the network. This result confirms the soundness of our approach to scouting and execution, while strengthening GreenGo's competitive positioning ahead of the MACSE auctions.”
Following the first authorisation and the first BESS acquisition between March and April 2024, Green Go has rapidly expanded its storage portfolio to over 400 MW in total, more than half of which are authorised projects.
The project is one of the first to have been given the green light through the new ministerial portal permitting.mase.gov.it (code AU no. 17), pursuant to Article 1 of Decree Law 7/2022.
“With San Sostene, we are consolidating GreenGo's presence in the storage sector, bringing the total of BESS projects already authorised to around 250 MWp and strengthening our ability to participate in the first round of MACSE” added Fabio Amico, CTO and Partner at GreenGo. “This result demonstrates not only the speed and efficiency of our technical and authorisation teams, but also the industrial vision that guides us in the development of strategic energy infrastructure and storage, including through the development of hybrid solar and photovoltaic plants combined with BESS storage solutions, also for the development of proximity solutions for industrial compounds.”
