CLEA

What CLEA does

CLEA Srl is an Italian energy service company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sulmona (L'Aquila province), with a second operational office in Pescara. Per its firmographic profile and website (cleasrl.it), CLEA designs and realizes the process of energy production plants, operating across three core activities: EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction), operations and maintenance (O&M), and solar power plant development. The company runs an operational portfolio of solar plants distributed across multiple municipalities in the Abruzzo region, including sites in Anversa, Collarmele, Prezza, Raiano, Celano, Collecorvino, and Ortona, and it explicitly positions itself around a "clean energy" proposition rendered in eleven languages on its website.

The firm is differentiated less by proprietary technology than by an unusually dense certification stack relevant to the Italian energy and environmental services market: ISO 9001:2008 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), E.S.CO. (Energy Service Company), FGas (EU fluorinated gas regulation), EU Regulation 2015/2067 conformity, WEEE, PV CYCLE Italia, and registration with Italy's National Register of Environmental Managers (Albo Nazionale Gestori Ambientari), plus SOA OG9 attestation that qualifies CLEA to execute public works. VAT ID 01722820667.

Commercially, CLEA functions as a specialized regional EPC and O&M contractor for energy infrastructure, with a small organization of 11–50 employees led by named department heads for Accounts (Dott.ssa Federica Di Renzo), Technical (Ing. Antonella Mancini), and Building (Ing. Antonella Mancini, P.I. Alessandro Martinelli, Orlando Massimo Ginnetti). Pricing, contract structures, and customer identities are not publicly disclosed in the available input.

Direct peers

• Renergetica: Italian developer and EPC contractor focused on utility-scale solar and wind across Italy, with active operations in the Abruzzo and southern regions. Highly comparable to CLEA in terms of customer base (Italian municipalities), EPC service mix, and operational scale.
• TerniEnergia: Italian renewables and energy-efficiency EPC/ESCO firm, originally a Terni group company that built and operated utility-scale solar PV plants across Italy. Direct competitor to CLEA in solar EPC, ESCO services, and O&M for utility-scale plants in central and southern Italy.
• Activ Solar: Specialized utility-scale solar EPC and O&M operator active in Mediterranean/Italian markets. Comparable as a sub-scale EPC-IPP competitor targeting the same Italian utility-scale solar tender segment as CLEA.

Emerging players

• Greenvolt Next: European distributed-generation and energy-services platform expanding into Italy with solar EPC, storage, and ESCO offerings. Comparable as a newer entrant attacking the same Italian mid-market solar and efficiency opportunity that CLEA serves.

Broad incumbents

• Enel Green Power: Italy's dominant utility-scale solar and wind IPP and EPC; while much larger, it competes for the same Italian public- and private-sector solar tenders, O&M contracts, and ESCO mandates CLEA pursues. Most relevant broad incumbent reference for benchmarking.
• EF Solare Italia: Joint venture between Eni and CDP focused on repowering and operating Italy's largest fleet of Conto Energia-era solar plants. Directly comparable due to its demand for repowering/retrofit and O&M services in central and southern Italy.
• Sonnedix: Global independent power producer with one of the largest solar operating portfolios in Italy, active across Abruzzo and central Italy. Comparable through its solar O&M and asset-management requirements that CLEA is positioned to deliver against.
• A2A Lifenergia: Subsidiary of A2A Group delivering energy-efficiency and ESCO services for public-sector and industrial clients in Italy. Overlaps with CLEA's ESCO and public-works execution footprint, particularly for municipal customers.
