Advisory and consulting for renewable energy

We help businesses, investors and landowners build solar plants. You bring the site or the project: permitting, capital and construction are ours.

In plain terms

What we actually do

We do not install plants and we do not sell panels. We bring together the three things without which a plant never happens — the site, the permits and the capital — and we coordinate whoever builds it.

01

You bring this

Land, an industrial roof, or a permitted project that has stalled. Any one of the three is enough.

02

We bring this

Technical validation, the permitting process, capital through our industrial partners, and construction coordination.

03

The outcome

A plant in operation. Depending on the route: income from your land, a project sold, or cheaper energy.

Who we are

We do not install plants. We make them happen.

Consulting Project is a renewable energy advisory firm. We find the site, verify that the project stands up, bring the capital through our industrial partners and coordinate whoever builds.

We work with an in-house technical practice led by an architect who is a partner in the firm.

  • Advisory — technical, permitting and financial feasibility
  • Land scouting — sourcing suitable sites
  • Development — permitting and financial structuring
  • Engineering — plant sizing and design
  • EPC — construction coordination through to commissioning

Our most requested structure

We do not send you to the bank.
We are the bank.

A plant with no upfront investment, no financing and no guarantees. You pay a fixed, contractual, fully deductible fee.

No investment

No upfront outlay. Your cash stays available to the business.

Immediate benefit

Your energy cost drops the moment the plant comes online.

Deductible fees

Fixed, certain and fully deductible.

Top-tier technology

Latest-generation plants, managed for you.

Sustainability and value

A concrete commitment that also shows in the accounts.

How it works

From land to construction in five steps

We talk

You tell us what you have: land, a project, a facility with a high energy bill. We establish straight away whether there is a viable project. We tell you when there isn't, too.

Design and grid connection request

We prepare the project and file the request with the grid operator. At this stage the only outlay is the grid operator's administrative fees: for a 1 MW plant, around €1,830.

The connection quote

The grid operator issues the connection quote. From that moment there are 45 days to accept it.

Development and permitting

Once the quote is accepted, we run the permitting process and close the financial structure with our partners.

Construction

Construction starts in around six months. From there we coordinate the EPC through to commissioning.

What we do

The services, in short

Utility scale

Medium and large ground-mounted solar plants on farmland, industrial sites, disused quarries and closed landfills.

Agrivoltaics

Panels and crops on the same surface. The land keeps producing — and produces energy as well.

RTB — Ready to build

Projects already permitted or at an advanced permitting stage. We buy them, finance them, or take them through to construction.

BESS — Storage systems

Batteries that store energy and release it when it is needed, or when it is worth more. They change a plant's economics.

PPA — Long-term supply

Sell or buy power at a defined price for years. Energy cost stops being a variable.

Energy communities and public sector

Projects for public authorities, municipalities and groups of businesses.

Subsidised finance

Grants and incentives: we check what your project qualifies for, before it starts.

Land scouting

We find the right site and verify constraints and grid capacity.

Energy efficiency

Solar, solar thermal, heat pumps and underfloor systems.

Landowners

Do you own land that currently generates little?

With surface rights the land stays yours: we build and operate the plant for 20 to 30 years and you receive an annual fee. Alternatively we buy it.

The assessment is free: send us the municipality and roughly the hectares, and we will tell you whether it makes sense.

One point of contact

You always speak to the same person

No switchboard, no call centre. From the first call to commissioning, Giovanni Porretta follows the project himself.

The questions we get most often

Not for the operating lease: there is no upfront investment. The only outlay, at the connection stage, is the grid operator's administrative fees — around €1,830 for 1 MW. Everything else we structure with our partners.

No. We do not send you to the bank and we do not ask for guarantees. The capital comes from our industrial and financial partners.

After the grid operator issues the connection quote there are 45 days to accept it. From there development continues and construction starts in around six months. Permitting timelines depend on the region and we verify them case by case: if there are obstacles, we tell you upfront.

With surface rights, yes. You grant use of the surface for a defined period — typically 20 to 30 years — and receive an annual fee. At the end it returns to your full disposal. If you would rather sell, we also consider outright purchase.

It depends on the location and the available grid capacity, not only on the hectares. That is precisely what we check before wasting anyone's time.

We coordinate. Construction is carried out by the EPC partners we work with, who have the track record to do it. Our role is to hold together design, permitting, capital and construction.

Yes, through our ESCo partner, which holds the certifications required to work with the public sector. It is the same route we use for energy communities.

Let's talk. The first assessment costs nothing.

Tell us what you have. If there is a viable project we will say so, and on what terms. If there isn't, we will say that too.

A person will reply. No commitment, no cost.
