Conservative acquisition strategy for markets with PPA projects with increasing importance

We acquire ready-to-build,turnkey-projects

or existing parks and negotiate Power Purchase Agreements with companies with very good ratings and operate them over their technical and commercial life time

Our experience from PPA negotiations in Spain (500 MW PV) and UK (40 MW PV) enables Encavis to move to emerging PPA markets like Italy and - in time to come - Germany and France

IRR minimum requirement depends more on risk distribution and rating of the off-taker, to a lesser extent on regulatory risk
