Australian investment house Tag Pacific has entered into an amended sale and purchase agreement with Carnegie Clean Energy to acquire its Energy Made Clean (EMC) business.

Under the new deal, Carnegie Clean Energy will receive 17.5% of Tag Shares, fully diluted, after completion of the acquisition, and a proposed capital raising by Tag.

To date, Tag has invested in various companies and activities that have been brought together primarily to operate under the banner of MPower.

The latest acquisition is expected to accelerate MPower’s growth plans and strengthen bidding opportunities, as well as capitalise on the rapidly growing off-grid and fringe-of-grid solar, battery storage and microgrid market.

Tag intends to combine its EMC business with MPower in order to create an ASX-listed renewable and battery storage business.
