CASH BENEFIT ESTIMATED AT EURO 2.5 MILLION (UP TO EURO 3.8 MILLION IN THE SUMMER) IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT MARKET VOLATILITY
Saluzzo (CN), 4 March 2026 – eVISO S.p.A. (symbol: EVISO) – technology company, listed on the EGM, operating in the electricity, gas and fruit sectors – announces that it has signed new agreements with local photovoltaic energy producers for the purchase of energy from photovoltaic plants, currently being activated, for a total additional capacity of 16.6 MW.
The photovoltaic plants, which are expected to be connected to the grid by April 2026, are expected to supply eVISO with 20 GWh[1] of energy on an annual basis when fully operational. The agreements signed are estimated to enable the Company to increase the energy directly supplied from renewable sources by +28% in 2026, from a forecast of 73.2 GWh[2] – announced on November 25, 2025 – to 93.1 GWh[3]. Energy withdrawn from renewable sources has a Cash Conversion Cycle that is approximately 60 days better than energy purchased on the electricity market (GME).
Lucia Fracassi, CEO of eVISO, commented: “Thanks to these additional agreements, the energy purchased by eVISO directly from renewable energy producers will increase to approximately 100 GWh in 2026. The energy that eVISO purchases directly from renewable sources improves the cash conversion cycle by 60 days compared to direct purchases from the GME market. In the scenario following the tensions in the Middle East in early March 2026, with the PUN at €165/MWh, the estimated cash benefit reaches €2.5 million, a figure that increases to over €3.8 million in the sunniest summer months. A payment mechanism that delays the impact of any price spikes linked to geopolitical events by 60 days. These figures demonstrate how the strategy of direct procurement from renewable sources represents a growing competitive factor for eVISO, regardless of developments in the geopolitical context”.
Below is a graph illustrating the trend of this evolution:
The x-axis on the left shows the trend over time (years) of GWh of energy purchased from renewable sources. The x-axis on the right shows the trend in the number of renewable energy plants (no. of plants) over time (years).
Clara Ghigo, Director of Technical, Engineering, and After-Sales Accessories Services at eVISO, commented: “Renewable energy producers and professional firms choose eVISO because it is a reliable technology partner: thanks to intensified commercial activity, supported by a proprietary technology platform, eVISO offers customers comprehensive services, transparent pricing, and timely payments, consolidating its role in the sector. In a context of rising energy prices, such as the current one following geopolitical tension in the Middle East, our platform allows us to manage a growing number of plants with the same efficiency, maximizing the competitive advantage for customers”.

[1] Annual production is calculated by multiplying the nominal power of the plant by the number of equivalent hours of operation. This is an estimate, as actual production depends on many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. For the reference geography, the estimates are calculated as follows: 16.6 MW (total power of the plants) * 1,200 h (number of equivalent hours of operation) = 20 GWh
[2] 61 MW (total power of the plants) * 1,200 h (number of equivalent hours of operation) = 73.2 GWh
[3] 77.6 MW (total power of the plants) * 1,200 h (number of equivalent hours of operation) = 93.1 GWh
