Macquarie Capital backs Chiron for 1 GW Italian solar-plus-storage venture

The joint venture gives Chiron additional institutional backing for a sizeable Italian clean-energy pipeline spanning utility solar and batteries. Italy is becoming a core European market for co-located storage as merchant exposure, grid constraints and renewables integration needs increase. A 1 GW solar and 500 MW BESS target gives the platform enough scale to compete for grid access, financing and long-term offtake.
