Encavis acquired a 65 MW standalone battery in Ceprano, Italy, with 260 MWh of storage capacity targeted for commissioning in 2028, according to IN Power on September 18, 2026. The project gives Encavis stock a concrete storage asset alongside the companys solar and wind operations.

What does the battery mean?

The Ceprano project is separate from the nine-plant solar portfolio covered by the same financing report, so its 260 MWh capacity represents an additional storage position rather than part of the 351 MW solar total. For Encavis, the distinction matters because batteries can shift renewable electricity into later market periods, although project returns still depend on grid access, price spreads and operating costs.

Encavis describes its European portfolio as more than 5.1 GW of installed capacity across 13 countries. Its homepage also lists 27 MW of installed power and 54 MWh of installed storage capacity, placing the Ceprano project in a broader expansion of storage capabilities.

Financing adds scale in Italy

On September 17, 2026, Encavis completed EUR 282 million of long-term project financing for a 351 MW Italian solar portfolio, according to EQS News. The portfolio combines 265 MW from the Giotto assets with 86 MW from four additional projects and covers nine solar plants.

The financing includes a EUR 244 million term facility, a EUR 10 million debt service reserve facility and a EUR 28 million letter of credit facility, with the term facility maturing at the end of 2049. That structure shifts the Italian assets from acquisition financing to long-term project debt while preserving flexibility to add batteries.

Encavis expands its storage base

The Ceprano battery is planned for four-hour storage, based on its 65 MW power rating and 260 MWh capacity. That ratio gives the project a different operating profile from a solar-only plant, because stored electricity can be discharged after peak photovoltaic generation.

Encavis stock therefore reflects a business mix that is moving beyond generation alone. The companys Italian financing combines a 351 MW solar platform with a separate 65 MW battery project, while its wider portfolio extends across Germany, Italy, Spain and other European markets.

Company and listing details

Encavis is an independent power producer focused on solar, onshore wind, battery storage and energy asset management. Its renewable portfolio and Italian financing provide the central figures for assessing how storage may develop within the groups operating model.
