Snop expands its European energy partnership with EDP to Italy

EDP, a European leader in energy solutions for businesses, has once again been selected by French automotive company Snop, this time to deploy its energy solutions at one of the company’s facilities in Italy.

Through EDP Energia Italia, the company will develop a project in Caserta, in the Campania region, capable of generating up to 520 MWh of clean energy per year. The installation is expected to be operational in the first months of 2027. This annual output is projected to avoid up to 223 tons of CO₂ emissions.

The project will include more than 700 rooftop solar panels at Snop’s Caserta facility, with an installed capacity of around 400 kWp. This complements the 5 MWp portfolio signed between EDP and Snop in early 2025 across France, Spain, and Germany. Altogether, these projects will generate more than 6 GWh of clean energy annually, supporting part of SNOP’s industrial activity across multiple European sites and reinforcing a long-term partnership between both companies.

In the context of continued volatility in global energy markets, long-term energy agreements are becoming increasingly critical for industrial players seeking cost visibility and operational stability. This project is delivered under EDP’s “As-a-Service” model, under which EDP assumes the upfront investment and manages the installation and operation of the system. This approach enables companies to access renewable energy without upfront investment, while ensuring predictable energy costs and supporting decarbonisation targets.

The agreement also reflects EDP’s ability to structure and execute multi-country energy solutions through a centralized project management model. By combining a single contractual framework with coordinated delivery across geographies, EDP reduces complexity, accelerates implementation, and ensures consistency in execution, while leveraging strong local expertise to adapt each project to market-specific requirements.
