What Agnes does

AGNES S.p.A. is a privately held Italian company, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ravenna, that develops large-scale offshore renewable energy infrastructure in the Adriatic Sea. The company's portfolio integrates three technology pillars: offshore wind farms (with five planned projects totaling over 4,000 MW including Romagna 1, Romagna 2, Marche 1, Veneto 1, and Abruzzo 1), the XLAND patented floating solar platform engineered for harsh marine conditions, and green hydrogen production via power-to-gas electrolysis that converts surplus renewable electricity into hydrogen for blending into the methane network or for mobility applications.

AGNES operates as a project developer and originator rather than a manufacturer, with execution anchored by an ecosystem of strategic partners including Qint'x (operational track record), SAIPEM (offshore EPC), F2i SGR (infrastructure capital, 7B+ EUR AUM), Sapio (hydrogen production), and the University of Bologna (R&D and marine testing). The company's go-to-market is B2B/B2G enterprise field sales, targeting Italian regional governments (Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Marche, Abruzzo) for offshore concessions and energy utilities/grid operators for electricity offtake under long-term PPAs.

Revenue mechanics are project-specific and tied to capital-intensive multi-year contracts. The company has secured 70 million euros in PNRR (Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan) funding approved in June 2021, and is preparing for a potential public listing following completion of the EuroNext IPOready 2025 program. Additional revenue streams under development include the ZOE project for Venice (~90M EUR investment targeting 100% green electricity and transport by 2026), hydrogen refueling infrastructure, and ancillary tourism excursions to offshore installations. The company remains in the pre-revenue, pre-construction authorization phase across its flagship wind pipeline.

Revenue model

1. Offshore Wind Energy Generation: Development and operation of offshore wind farms in the Adriatic Sea generating electricity for sale to the grid. Projects include Romagna 1 (200 MW), Romagna 2 (400 MW), Marche 1 (840 MW floating), Veneto 1 (800 MW), Abruzzo 1 (1760 MW floating). Revenue generated from electricity sales under long-term power purchase agreements or merchant exposure.
2. PNRR Government Funding: 70 million euros investment approved by Camera dei Deputati as complement to Italy's PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza) for AGNES project - an energy hub in the Adriatic Sea integrating offshore wind and floating solar for electricity and green hydrogen production.
3. Floating Solar Infrastructure: Installation and operation of XLAND floating solar platforms in the Adriatic Sea. Revenue from electricity generation sales and potential licensing of XLAND technology. Romagna 1 includes 100 MWp floating solar component.
4. Green Hydrogen Production and Sales: Production and commercialization of green hydrogen for mobility and logistics. ZOE project plans 1,100 tons/year hydrogen production for Venice lagoon transport (buses in Mestre, ferries). Hydrogen refueling stations installation. Power-to-gas model converts surplus renewable electricity to hydrogen.
5. Offshore Tourism Services: Tourism excursions to offshore wind farms departing from Marina di Ravenna, Cesenatico, and Rimini ports. Boats equipped with bars and restaurants take tourists close to turbines. Eco-tourism experience monetized through ticket sales.

Direct peers

• BlueFloat Energy: Specialist floating offshore wind developer with projects in Spain, Portugal, UK, and other markets. Comparable to AGNES for its floating wind focus (relevant to AGNES's Marche 1 and Abruzzo 1 floating projects) and integrated developer model.
• Renexia: Italian offshore wind developer behind the MedWind project in Sicily (~2.88 GW planned). Most direct comparable for AGNES in the Italian offshore wind market — same regulatory environment, similar scale pipeline, and competing for the same government backing and grid interconnection.
• Simply Blue Group: Irish/UK-based developer of floating offshore wind projects across Europe. Direct comparable as a pure-play early-stage offshore wind developer pursuing multi-GW pipelines in European waters with similar permitting-led model.
• Qint'x: Italian renewable energy developer based in Ravenna with 150+ wind turbines and 20+ PV parks installed. AGNES was built on Qint'x expertise and serves as pioneer partner in offshore renewables. Closest operational peer with direct partnership overlap.
• Principle Power: Technology provider for floating offshore wind (WindFloat platform). Comparable to AGNES for floating wind expertise; relevant as AGNES develops floating projects (Marche 1, Abruzzo 1) and could leverage Principle Power's technology.

Broad incumbents
