What Intellienergia does

Intellienergia S.r.l. is an Italian engineering services firm specializing in full-lifecycle consulting for utility-scale renewable energy projects. Founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the Università di Roma Tor Vergata, the company combines academic research output with practical engineering capability; its founding shareholders include seven university professors from Tor Vergata alongside senior industry engineers, and the firm operates from a legal headquarters in Rome, a primary operational office in Guidonia Montecelio, and an operational office in Macerata, Italy. With approximately 16 employees, Intellienergia is a small, privately held consultancy without external institutional investment.

The firm delivers integrated engineering services spanning feasibility studies, preliminary, definitive, and executive design, permitting and authorization assistance, construction management, safety coordination, and post-execution compliance for solar photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass plants. Its specialized technical capabilities include wind resource assessment and bankability certification using WAsP software—one of approximately 100 globally certified users and 7 in Italy—supported by a proprietary network of certified anemometers distributed across Italian regions. The firm has designed over 2 GW of photovoltaic capacity and 1 GW of wind capacity across more than 100 projects, with named clients including Sorgenia, Acea, Vestas, Tractebel, EF Solare Italia, and several Italian municipalities.

Revenue is generated through project-based B2B engagements with energy companies, private investors, project developers, and public entities; services are quote-based with a minimum project size of 50 kW and a preference for sites over 10 hectares. The company also operates a training business (over 70 specialist courses delivered to 3,000+ engineers since 2007) and co-authors industry reference manuals published by Maggioli Editore. The Biovoltaic project—an agrovoltaic research initiative co-developed with CREA, Università di Roma Tor Vergata, Bassano Natura, and funded by Regione Lazio—represents the firm's current frontier in agricultural-photovoltaic integration. Intellienergia holds multi-site ISO 9001:2015 certification (IAF sectors 37/35) covering its training services.
