Greencoat Renewables

What’s the focus of Greencoat Renewables?

The 2017 founded Greencoat Renewables owns and operates renewable energy infrastructure assets in Europe. During the last years, they were able to aggrandize their portfolio to 21 onshore wind farms and solar parks. While the majority of the renewable energy projects are spread in Ireland, a few new parks were built in France as well. This development reflects the company's strategy, to expand to continental markets in Europe where they identified a significant opportunity to aggregate wind and solar assets. Overall, the now owned renewable projects generate a capacity of more than 520 MW.
