Following the latest fundraise, Aker Horizons will continue to hold its stake in the company.

Proceeds from the funding round will be used by the company to fast-track its expansion by entering new markets and building gigawatt-scale solar and wind projects in Africa, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Mainstream Renewable Power CEO Mary Quaney said: “Today’s announcement of an additional €90m of funding means that Mainstream can accelerate its role in tackling climate change across the globe.

“This funding will help us deliver on the major project milestones we’ve announced in recent months, across South Africa, Vietnam and Chile, and strengthen our global growth trajectory as we continue to expand our presence in existing markets, as well as enter new markets, in the months ahead.”
