GreenYellow, a major player in the energy transition specializing in decentralized solar photovoltaic production and energy efficiency projects, announces the integration of the Grow Energy Management (GEM), an expert in decentralized photovoltaics and a key player in Portugal and Poland. This operation, which includes two project portfolios, marks a major step in GreenYellow's expansion in these two countries. GreenYellow thus becomes a leading player in photovoltaic solar energy for companies in the industrial and commercial distribution sectors, both in Poland and Portugal.Rolando Furlong, Nicolas Daunis, Bernardo Matos
With this operation, including a shares swap, GEM and GreenYellow Portugal will become a single entity (GreenYellow Portugal), based in Lisbon and controlled by GreenYellow. It will continue to develop the Group's flagship offers: decentralized photovoltaics, with a particular focus on solar self-consumption, and EaaS (Energy-as-a-Service), to accelerate the decarbonization of businesses.
Miguel Almeida Henriques, Miguel Magalhães and Bernardo Matos will co-lead GreenYellow Portugal, continuing the successful development initiated with GEM. Their ambitious goal is to develop over 100 MWp of decentralized solar projects over the next three years. Together with GreenYellow Polska, they will also support the development and operation of existing projects and accompany future initiatives in Poland. This transaction will enable GreenYellow to consolidate its position as a major player in solar self-consumption in Europe. GreenYellow plans to invest nearly 150 million euros over the next three years in Portugal and Poland to accelerate its clients' energy transition.
"We are delighted to welcome the GEM teams to GreenYellow. This integration witnesses the trust of GEM and their clients in our group, a valuable asset in this operation. I would also like to thank our shareholder Ardian, Marcelino Oreja (Chairman of GreenYellow Iberia and Member of the Board of Directors of the GreenYellow Group), our partners and employees for their support. This excellent operation is in line with our strategy of accelerating our European expansion, announced at the end of 2022, and underlines our commitment to actively contribute to the energy transition in Portugal and Poland, with even greater ambition”, says Otmane Hajji, President of GreenYellow.
