UK-based renewable energy investor Cubico Sustainable Investments has acquired a 274MW solar power generation company from private equity firm I Squared Capital.
In December, I Squared Capital agreed to sell Grupo T-Solar to Cubico for a consideration of €1.5bn ($1.8bn).
Cubico has also acquired the minority shareholding of investment company KKR in Grupo T-Solar’s photovoltaic (PV) assets in Spain.
Grupo T-Solar’s operational assets include 167MW of solar PV assets and 100MW of concentrated solar power across Spain, as well as 7MW of solar PV in Italy.
The addition of Grupo T-Solar into Cubico’s existing Spanish business makes it one of the most valuable companies in the country’s renewables market.
