Italy’s Renantis and UK-based Ventient Energy have agreed to combine operations to create a new independent power producer (IPP) with an installed capacity of 4.2GW and a pipeline of 18GW.
The two renewable energy companies are owned by institutional investors advised by JP Morgan Asset Management.
The merged entity, with its installed capacity spread across 200 plants, is expected to become one of the top five IPPs in Europe’s onshore wind space.
Its portfolio will also include solar plants and energy storage facilities across nine countries in Europe and the US.
The 18GW development pipeline of the two companies includes onshore wind, floating offshore wind, solar photovoltaics, energy storage and green hydrogen projects.
The consolidated entity will continue to provide tailored energy management, asset management and technical advisory solutions to its industrial and tertiary-sector clients across all stages in the value chain.
