We explore how private equity accelerates solar, storage and biomethane projects, why permitting and grid issues continue to slow delivery in Italy, and how investors are navigating new rules, rising deadlines and shifting incentive schemes. Valentina also sets out where she sees the strongest opportunities for growth and how a platform approach can unlock value across the energy transition.
