We advised one of Europe’s leading private banks, Berenberg, on providing financing of EUR 26 million to the renewable energy company Green Genius to construct the new solar park in the Baltics.
The 121 MW project is located in Jekabpils, Latvia. So far, it is the biggest stand-alone solar park in Latvia, taking over a 151 ha area. The total planned investment into this solar project is over €100 million. The plans will make it the biggest in Latvia and the second-biggest stand-alone solar park in the Baltic countries.
“We are proud to further support Green Genius on its strong growth path in Europe and look forward to financing future Green Genius projects across Europe. This is our second transaction with Green Genius, where they have again proved that they have the know-how and resources to become a major player in the European renewable energy market,” – says Torsten Heidemann, Head of Infrastructure & Energy at Berenberg.
