SEW co-founder Eric van der Gun said: “Finding a buyer with the right philosophy and attitude was as critical a part of our selection as its financial strength.

The company said the deal will help it meet its goal of becoming a leading independent solar power producer in Europe.

It will increase ASE’s Dutch team to 22 and add Utrecht as another office location for the company.

AMPYR Solar Europe Netherlands managing director Alexander Koeman said: “SEW has successfully assembled a portfolio of high-quality solar power generation assets across the Netherlands, therefore we are delighted to have completed this acquisition.

“The acquisition of SEW complements our existing Dutch business very well and will help accelerate our long-term plans in terms of portfolio growth, talent addition, local presence and the renewable energy transition in general.”

Based in London, ASE offers in-house, end-to-end services across asset development, construction, operations and power sales.

In February this year, the company secured a €400m ($455m) facility from CarVal Investors to bring more than 2GW of solar power capacity in Europe into operation by 2025.
