(Alliance News) - Intesa Sanpaolo Spa announced on Wednesday that its IMI Corporate & Investment Banking division has participated, alongside a syndicate of international banks, in a financing package of approximately USD290 million for a battery energy storage project located in Boulder City, Nevada.

The transaction will support the construction and operation of the Roccasecca project, a 127 MW / 506 MWh battery energy storage system currently under construction and scheduled to enter commercial operation in 2026.

The financing is part of the sale of the Roccasecca project by IOWN Energy, on behalf of its client Eolus North America, to DESRI, a leading independent power producer.

Intesa Sanpaolo shares were trading up 4.3% at EUR5.383 per share on Wednesday.
