The collaboration between Mirova and RP Global dates back to 2015.

Up to 2029, RP Global aims to develop and commission more than 2.5GW of solar, wind and storage assets, including several hybridised assets.

The transaction, which is still pending anti-trust clearances, will be finalised in November 2024.

RP Global CEO Gerhard Matzinger stated: “The new phase in our cooperation with Mirova enables RP Global to further our efforts in developing and deploying renewable energy projects at a crucial time for Europe’s energy transition.

“The financing provided will help us expand our initiatives to build sustainable infrastructure across the region, advancing our shared goal of reducing carbon emissions and supporting the transition to cleaner energy, and building a successful IPP of critical size.”
