About ENBI
ENBI is a next-generation renewable energy platform, evolving from a pure developer into a fully integrated Independent Power Producer (IPP) focused on utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage across Italy and select European markets.
Our Foundation
Established in 2025 through the integration of Bio3 Energy and Envidev — two of Italy's most respected development firms — ENBI consolidates deep origination capabilities with the capital discipline and operational ambition of a long-term infrastructure owner.
We control the full development lifecycle internally: from land origination, permitting, and interconnection through to commercialization, EPC oversight, and operational readiness.
Our Approach
As we transition into an IPP, we are building selective ownership positions in high-quality projects, while continuing to monetize others through strategic exits and partnerships.
With a diversified pipeline of land-secured, grid-visible assets and a leadership team with over €1.5 billion in renewable platform transactions, ENBI combines speed, control, and investor-grade discipline.

About ENBI
Our strategic pillars
We secure land and grid connections early through embedded local relationships, focusing on high-resource areas and under-supplied zones of the grid. We don't chase auctions or compete on price — we originate selectively and structure for control.
Our in-house team manages permitting, design, and regulatory interface — minimizing execution risk and ensuring projects are aligned with grid realities and regional planning frameworks.
We retain operational control of select projects through our evolving IPP portfolio, while rotating others via RTB or COD sales to utilities, funds, or energy majors. This hybrid model allows for reinvestment, IRR optimization, and platform scaling.
ENBI is structured for institutional engagement: third-party audit trails, robust governance, transparent asset pricing, and HoldCo-level consolidation. This enables scalable exits, financing readiness, and long-term credibility.

We aim to build a resilient, scalable platform that delivers grid-connected solar, wind, and storage assets where they are needed most.
Sustainability
Our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. ENBI develops and operates utility-scale solar, wind, and storage assets that supply clean electricity to local grids — reducing emissions and improving energy access across Italy and Europe.
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. Our projects contribute to modernizing regional energy infrastructure and enabling smarter grid integration. We invest in early-stage development with a long-term vision of system-wide value.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. We work closely with municipalities, landowners, and grid operators to design energy projects that respect local context, preserve land value, and support regional development priorities.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Every megawatt we develop displaces fossil generation and contributes to national and EU climate goals. We focus on permanent, grid-connected infrastructure that delivers measurable decarbonization.
Sustainability
Platform strategy
ENBI's strategy is grounded in execution, selectivity, and alignment. We develop and operate utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects across Italy and selected European markets, with full control over origination, permitting, interconnection, and project readiness.
Our structure allows us to selectively retain high-quality assets as an Independent Power Producer (IPP), while monetizing others through strategic exits or partnerships. By integrating developer expertise with asset ownership capabilities, we remove friction between the early and late stages of project development — accelerating delivery and unlocking value across the lifecycle.

Why we started ENBI
We founded ENBI to address a structural gap in the energy transition: the disconnect between local project development and institutional execution standards.
After years operating independently — across land origination, engineering, legal structuring, and platform-level transactions — we saw an opportunity to create something different: a fully integrated platform that combines the agility of a developer with the discipline of a long-term owner.
ENBI brings together complementary expertise under one roof. We control every phase of the project lifecycle — from land to grid, from permit to commercial operation — enabling us to deliver infrastructure with greater speed, precision, and accountability.
Our goal is simple: to build renewable assets that are technically sound, commercially viable, and ready to perform for the long term.
06
Partner with us
ENBI partners with landowners, corporate offtakers, and institutional investors to develop and deliver utility-scale renewable energy assets across Italy and selected European markets. We operate as a vertically integrated platform — controlling the full project lifecycle from land origination through to grid connection and commercialization.
Our model is built on clear roles, reliable execution, and aligned incentives. We don't outsource risk. We manage it — with discipline, transparency, and results.
Landowners
We offer landowners a direct path to long-term, predictable income by leasing their land for solar PV, wind, or battery storage projects.
Our team identifies suitable parcels based on grid access, resource availability, and permitting feasibility. Once a lease is signed, ENBI handles 100% of the development process — including permitting, environmental due diligence, grid interconnection, and construction readiness.
Lease terms are competitive and clearly defined. Income is stable, inflation-indexed, and contractually secured for 25 years or more. We work with agricultural, industrial, and low-productivity land — always with respect for local conditions and long-term land value.
