French incumbent utility EDF has already signed power purchase agreements to receive generation from the solar parks for a period of up to 20 years.
Engie Group will also provide operations and maintenance services to the portfolio under long-term deals.
Solairedirect's managing director Amaury Korniloff said: “This transaction is the result of the relentless work and expertise developed at Conquest in the infrastructure space and renewable power real assets over the past years and is a strong illustration of Conquest’s team involvement in the industry, developing strategic partnerships with an energy player like Engie.
“Those assets are best-in-class in the current European renewable energy landscape. They have been designed, built, and modelised hand-in-hand with Conquest.”
