The acquisition strengthens Cubico’s position in the country. Its renewables capacity is now more than 320MW.

Cubico origination and development head Javier Areitio stated: “This deal aligns with one of the pillars of our global growth strategy: increasing and diversifying our installed capacity in each of our existing markets, rather than expanding our geographical footprint.

“As we build our clean energy portfolio, we are prioritising the pursuit of synergies and a 24/7 generation profile in each country where we operate.”

Cubico Uruguay country manager Javier Pérez del Castillo stated: “This is another important milestone for Cubico, significantly strengthening our position as the largest private owner of renewables in Uruguay and one of the largest in the world.
