Chiron Energy

Chiron Energy is an independent Italian group that develops, builds, and operates state-of-the-art renewable energy plants and infrastructure with a very low environmental impact. The company specializes in constructing and commissioning incentivized photovoltaic plants across various regions of Italy, including Veneto, Lombardy, Piedmont, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Established in late 2020 by Mario Pesaresi and his son Paolo, Chiron Energy has rapidly emerged as one of the leading solar developers in the Italian market. The company has an authorized pipeline of over 250 MWp of greenfield solar projects and has already secured financing for several projects through green loans from lenders like UniCredit.

In November 2021, Chiron Energy concluded the authorization processes for six photovoltaic plants in northern Italy with a total capacity of 25 MW. These plants, scheduled to become operational in 2024, are expected to produce 100% renewable energy, avoiding the release of approximately 9,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

In June 2022, the company issued a EUR 5 million ESG-linked minibond with a bullet maturity of December 31, 2026, fully subscribed by the Progetto Minibond Italia fund. This minibond provides rate benefits linked to Chiron Energy's sustainability and ESG rating, supporting the company's ambitious growth and investment plans.

In April 2023, Chiron Energy secured a EUR 17 million green loan from UniCredit to fund the construction and commissioning of four new renewable energy production plants with a total installed capacity of over 19 MWp. Once operational by November 2023, these plants are expected to produce around 27 GWh of electricity annually, covering the needs of approximately 9,000 Italian households while avoiding emissions of over 14,000 tons of CO₂ equivalents per year.
