The acquisition is the eighth deal executed by the €1.5bn ICG Infra I fund overall, as well as its fourth in the renewable energy sector.
The fund previously acquired British Solar Renewables and Zeplug in July and September this year respectively.
Going forward, ICG Infra will work with Dos Grados’ management to develop and operate the existing projects, as well as support the company’s organic and inorganic expansion across Spain and Portugal.

“We are seeing more demand than ever for renewable energy sources, and with the support of ICG Infra, we look forward to growing our business with a partner that fully understands and is committed to funding renewables with a long-term approach.”
