Throughout his career he has contributed to the construction of more than 1.000 MW and also in the development of renewable projects of 5.000 MW in many countries in the area.

The New General Manager will take Grenergy's development plans forward from Santiago,where its operation center for Latam is located. In this market, Grenergy already has a pipeline over 5.5 GW in different development stages between solar and aeolic projects. Half of them are located in Chile (2.8GW), in Colombia the project portfolio is 1.4 GW while in Peru it exceeds GW. Additionally, Grenergy has over 2,6 GWh battery projects in development..

Capital Increase to grow

This appointment is part of the company's strategy for growth and geographic expansion. To reach this goal Grenergy has the support of the capital markets, being able to obtain a capital increase of 90 million euros that has successfully closed last June to invest on its strategic plan.

It is based on the growth in Europe, and its new entrance in the German market, where it will develop solar plans as of 2023 to be able to reach a minimum of 3 GW of pipeline in development before 2025.

This capital will also help speed up its storage strategy. The company has already put into operation branches of this technology in its three main areas, USA, Latin America and Europe. The goal is to incorporate the storage in its growth plans as a main factor in the energetic transition and as a main tool in the electric system.
