“Last year, Matrix became a prominent player in the renewable energy sector, growing our portfolio to more than 3.5GW across Europe, the US and Latin America.
“We will continue to further explore additional opportunities in these geographies this year as we continue to expand globally.”
The partnership comes after Matrix Renewables entered the Italian renewable energy segment last September by partnering with Horus Green Energy Investment.
The two companies agreed to co-develop around 420MW of solar power capacity in Sicily and Lazio.
In November, Matrix Renewables increased its presence in the country by acquiring a 91MW solar portfolio from Solaer.
With its latest deal, the company aims to bolster its position in the European renewable energy market.
Matrix Renewables said that last year, it increased its total footprint by 1.3GW in brownfield projects and 600MW in greenfield projects in the US, Italy, Portugal, Chile and Colombia.
Last February, the company signed an agreement with Rolwind to develop 1GW worth of renewable projects.
Matrix agreed to initially invest in 150MW across three solar PV assets in Huelva province, which are understood to have the potential for co-located energy storage development.
