The strategic bridge between Asia and Europe.
NEAR was founded in 2026 to drive the energy transition in Italy, selecting and distributing the most advanced renewable technologies from the global market. Our bridge between Eastern industrial innovation and European market needs.
Facilitating the European energy transition.
NEAR (New Energy Alliance for Renewables) was founded in 2026 to drive the energy transition in Italy, leveraging new Eastern technologies capable of making the most of wind conditions in the Italian territory.
Our mission is to facilitate the integration of advanced energy technologies into the Italian market, acting as a bridge between global industrial innovation and local needs. Through the selection and intermediation of reliable, competitive solutions — particularly in BESS storage systems and wind energy — we support the country’s energy transition, making projects more efficient, sustainable and accessible. We operate with a strong focus on quality, regulatory compliance and long-term value creation for our partners, promoting resilient and future-oriented energy development.
To achieve this goal, drawing on our twenty-year experience, we have developed a supply chain that integrates all the technical and operational expertise required in transportation and assembly.
A supply chain built over twenty years of direct relationships.
Direct relationships with manufacturers
Long-standing relationships with CRRC Zhuzhou Institute and AC Newenergy guarantee priority access to technology, co-development and early information on new products.
Knowledge of the Italian market
Deep understanding of the Italian regulatory framework: regional authorisation processes, grid codes and connection procedures — managed natively.
Structured European supply chain
Partners for heavy-lift logistics, assembly and installation with a capillary presence across Europe, certified and compliant with CE standards.
Risk management and bankability
Contractual structures and guarantees designed to meet European lender requirements: complete technical documentation and IEC certifications.
Strategy
Selection of optimal technology partners for every site type and project requirement.
Execution
Operational management of the entire value chain, from port of entry to final commissioning.
Continuity
O&M contracts to guarantee performance throughout the full lifecycle.
Two alliances that define the NEAR offering.
