[European Energy Giant OX2 Enters Australia: 135MW Solar-Plus-Storage Project Officially Commences Construction]

San Marino’s public utility AASS has launched a call for expressions of interest to acquire companies holding ground-mounted PV assets in San Marino or Italy, aiming to improve energy security and reduce reliance on imported electricity. Eligible projects may be operating, under construction or ready to build, but must be commissioned by Dec. 31, 2026, with a maximum value of EUR 15 million per project. Battery storage can be included, but standalone storage projects are not eligible. SMM believes the move reflects growing efforts by smaller European economies to use domestic and cross-border renewable investments to strengthen energy security and long-term power price stability.
