The Roccasecca project, under construction, is expected to reach commercial operation in 2026 and will contribute to strengthening grid reliability and flexibility in the U.S. Southwest power market. Prior to the sale, key project agreements including a 15-year tolling agreement, equipment supply, engineering and construction agreements, and project financing, were negotiated and secured, positioning the project as a fully contracted and in construction asset. Following the transaction, DESRI has assumed all rights and obligations associated with the project and will continue construction management through completion, with IOWN supporting the transition as needed. "This transaction reflects the strength of our disciplined development approach and our ability to structure fully contracted, construction-ready marquee assets for long-term owners," said Hans-Christian Schulze, CEO and President of IOWN Energy. "Roccasecca was delivered as a de-risked project with contracted revenues and optimized construction risk allocation, a model that continues to generate strong demand from institutional investors and independent power producers."

It is just the latest in a string of successful transactions coming out of an ever stronger Eolus and IOWN partnership." said Per Witalisson, CEO of Eolus AB.

"We are pleased to have arranged financing for Roccasecca," said Robert Park, Head of Power & Project Finance at Zions. "We appreciated the opportunity to partner with Eolus and IOWN, helping bring storage capacity to Nevada." "As Intesa Sanpaolo, we are proud to have supported Eolus and IOWN as Coordinating Lead Arranger through our IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division. Battery energy storage is a key enabler of grid flexibility and stability, and this deal reflects our strong commitment to the U.S. power market and to enabling the energy transition through resilient infrastructure," said Nicola Doninelli, Head of Distribution Platforms & GTB at Intesa Sanpaolo - IMI CIB Division.
