The acquisition is expected to further enhance Atlantis sustainable energy assets and transform it into a diversified energy company.

SIMEC Atlantis Energy CEO Tim Cornelius said: “This proposed acquisition is one of the most exciting developments in the recent history of Atlantis. The management team at SIMEC GHR are world-renowned for their mini-hydro development, construction, operations and maintenance capabilities.

“They have built a unique portfolio of operating assets in the UK that cannot be replicated due to recent changes in legislation.

“Not only will this acquisition have a positive cash flow impact on our group in the first year and deliver generation diversification, but it also validates the Atlantis relationship with our strategic shareholder, SIMEC, and it gives us access to one of the most accomplished and respected hydro development teams in the UK.”
