What we do

Development and advisory, supporting technology.

We structure plants and projects for CERs, PPAs and self-consumption: site origination, permitting, coordination of the engineering, all the way to bankability. We advise those who have land, demand or capital, and we run the same process on the projects we develop ourselves, with monetisation (PPA, market or CER configuration) structured from the design stage.

In parallel we build two software products. AIP Engine structures project dossiers, and we use it in due diligence. CER-Ops is designed for those who run an energy community and is in its launch phase, with invitation-only access.

Founder

Michele Pravadelli.

Founder and sole administrator of Altheon. Background in architecture, years of project development in Italian solar.

Worked the full project lifecycle (origination, permitting, construction, M&A due diligence) before founding Altheon in 2025, to develop his own projects and advise third parties in renewables.

Works with a network of specialist partners (engineers, lawyers, EPC, O&M, software) selected project by project. He remains the single point of contact.

He is the author of the insights published on this site.

Operating model

Developer-advisor, project SPVs, specialist partners by discipline.

Altheon is a developer and advisor. The projects we develop ourselves are structured in dedicated project companies (SPVs). We activate external partners (engineering, legal, EPC, O&M, financing) only when needed.

For advisory clients this means one point of contact and specialist expertise where it counts, with no opaque chain of subcontractors.

The disciplines of the network are described on the Partners page.

Scope

What falls outside.

  • Altheon is not an ESCo (Energy Service Company) and holds no UNI CEI 11352 certification.
  • It does not take the role of Soggetto Referente (referent) of a CER.
  • It does not advance capital.
  • It does not build plants with its own means: construction, operation and maintenance are entrusted to specialised firms.

FAQ

Questions about Altheon.

What kind of projects do you work on?

We typically work on PV plants between 500 kWp and 20 MWp, ground-mounted or on industrial rooftops. We select sites on techno-economic grounds, follow the permitting process and take projects all the way to bankability.

We advise clients who have land, demand or capital, and we apply the same expertise to the projects we develop ourselves.

Who works on the projects?

Altheon is led by its founder, Michele Pravadelli, who is the point of contact on every engagement.

For engineering, legal, EPC, O&M, finance and software we bring in specialist partners, selected project by project.

Is Altheon an ESCo or the Soggetto Referente (referent) of a CER?

No. Altheon is not an ESCo, holds no UNI CEI 11352 certification and does not take the role of Soggetto Referente (referent) of a CER. On CERs it supports those promoting them in the design: structure, governance and allocation rules. Management stays with the referent; for those who run a CER, Altheon develops the CER-Ops software.

It does not advance capital and does not build plants with its own means. The full scope is set out in the Method; the referent's role, in the dedicated insight.

Do you only work in Italy?

Yes. Our field is Italian solar: permitting, grid connection, CERs and bilateral PPAs. The site is bilingual because we also work with non-Italian counterparties.

How does a first engagement start?

With a 30-minute call to understand the context: site, offtake, project. If it makes sense to go on, we propose a scope of work; if we are not the right fit, we say so.

The steps are set out in the Method.

How do I get in touch?

Through the contact form, choosing the profile closest to your case: landowner, offtaker looking for a PPA, investor or asset owner who needs project support, and the other profiles described on the Who it's for page. Or by writing to info@altheon.it.

We reply within two business days.

Are CER-Ops and AIP Engine available?

CER-Ops is a separate product, at cerops.altheon.it, and is in its launch phase, with invitation-only access. AIP Engine is in early access by referral.
