The National Integrated Climate and Energy Plan (PNIEC) seeks to reach a target of more than 30GW of solar PV capacity by 2030.
Powertis will focus on establishing its presence in the Italian market by developing more projects across various regions in the country.
The Spanish firm noted that its expansion plans will help increase its pipeline beyond over 2GW between Italy and Brazil.
Last September, Powertis announced an investment for the development, structuring, financing, construction and operation of large-scale solar PV projects.
The company said that it will be developing a 765MW photovoltaic solar portfolio in the states of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, in Brazil.
