- Sell-side valuations were higher, spanning from €100,000 to €220,000 per MWp, averaging €153,700 per MWp.
This significant gap between buy-side and sell-side valuations, approximately 51.88%, indicates a dynamic market with strong seller expectations.
Regional Context
Within Southern Europe, Italy's solar PV valuations present an interesting picture:
- Italy's average buy-side valuation (€101,200/MWp) is higher than Spain (€79,500/MWp) and Greece (€93,800/MWp), but lower than Portugal (€137,500/MWp).

These figures suggest that Italy remains a premium market for solar PV assets in Southern Europe, reflecting its mature renewable energy policies and robust electricity market.
Understanding RTB Projects
Ready-to-Build (RTB) refers to a crucial stage in the asset development lifecycle. At this point, a project has secured all necessary permits and grid connections, making it ready for immediate construction. RTB projects are particularly attractive to investors as they minimize development risks while still offering potential for value creation during the construction and operational phases.
