Description du projet
The To Dream project is a concrete example of how renewable energy can be seamlessly integrated into sustainable urban development. The initiative is part of one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in Italy, developed on the former Michelin industrial site in Turin, covering a total area of 270,000 sqm. Today, it has been transformed into a multifunctional district combining retail, leisure, services, dining and office spaces, redefining the concept of an open urban mall.

En savoir plus sur le projet
Within this context, Helexia developed, financed and implemented a rooftop photovoltaic system under an ESCo (Energy Service Company) model. The project involves a fully Helexia-funded investment, covering the entire lifecycle of the installation—from design and construction to operation, maintenance and performance optimization.
The system is composed of two rooftop photovoltaic plants, with a total installed capacity of nearly 1.7 MWp. Commissioned at the end of 2024, it generates approximately 1.9 GWh of renewable energy per year, avoiding more than 600 tonnes of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to the annual energy consumption of around 800 households or the planting of over 16,000 trees.
The energy produced is largely self-consumed by the site, contributing to increased energy efficiency and reduced reliance on conventional energy sources. At the same time, the project enhances the value of underutilized urban spaces, such as rooftops, transforming them into active contributors to the energy transition.
The adopted model allows the client to immediately benefit from the generated energy without any upfront investment (no CAPEX), while improving both environmental performance and site competitiveness. This approach reflects Helexia’s positioning as an integrated partner for the energy transition, combining technical expertise, financing capabilities and operational excellence.
“This project is a concrete example of how sustainability can also create economic value. The investment model adopted allows the client to immediately benefit from the energy produced, without upfront costs, while improving both environmental performance and site competitiveness.”
— Angela Cea, CFO of Helexia Italy
