Geographic and business diversification remains a fundamental pillar for the growth of Spanish companies abroad. In this context, lantania has expanded its international footprint with the award of two large-scale projects in the Mediterranean basin. With these new additions, the Group's international presence rises to a total of 16 countries, adding to recent implementations in Northern Macedonia y Tunisia.
The economic impact of these awards is distributed between Italy, where the investment amounts to 35 millones de euros in the renewable energy sector, and Türkiye, where the water management contract reaches the 73 millones de euros.
Foray into the Italian energy market
In the north of Italy, specifically near Bolonia, Lantania Energía will build three photovoltaic parks under contracts turnkey or EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction). The plants have a combined power of 80 MW (two of 20 MW and one of 40 MW) and its construction is scheduled to be completed in June 2026In addition to the comprehensive execution, the company will be responsible for the maintenance and operation (O&M) of the facilities during the first two years.
It is estimated that, once operational, these solar parks will generate annually 118GWh, allowing to supply about 27.000 homes and contributing decisively to the carbon footprint reduction by avoiding the emission of up to 29.500 tons of $\text{CO}_2$ into the atmosphere every year.
The company shows ambition in this market and is already bidding for new solar projects in Italy, with expectations of completion in the first half of 2026.
These projects reinforce the international growth strategy of the company in markets that present a high development potential economic and sustainable infrastructure
Consolidation in Türkiye's water sector
On the other hand, the Spanish company, in Temporary Union of Companies (UTE) with the Turkish construction company Özaltın Construction, has been awarded the fourth expansion of the Ankara Central Drinking Water Treatment Plant (İvedik), a project of 73 millones de euros driven by Ankara Water and Sewerage Administration (ASKİ).
This contract, financed by the World Bank and part of the program “Sustainable Cities Project 2 – Additional Financing" aims to strengthen the water infrastructure of the Turkish capital. The expansion will allow for the addition of 564.000 $\text{m}^3$/day to the current capacity of the water treatment plant, raising its total capacity to 2.226.000 $\text{m}^3$/day and consolidating it as one of the largest water treatment plants in EuropeThe companies will design, supply, assemble, and commission this fourth treatment unit.
The president of Lantania, Federico Avila, has underlined the importance of this expansion: “The development of projects in Italy and Türkiye represents a decisive step to strengthen our international portfolio and consolidate Lantania as a benchmark in infrastructure and energy at a global level.”
