Arroyo founding partner David Field said: “Establishing and growing the renewables generation portfolio of assets within ARCO has been a milestone achievement for Arroyo.
“The transaction to sell ARCO to Sonnedix, a world-class renewables company, is a resounding achievement for both Arroyo and the strong leadership team at ARCO, affirming our collective vision and commercial execution.”
Sonnedix CEO Axel Thiemann said: “Sonnedix has been preparing for the next phase of the energy transition – providing green, affordable electricity targeted at our customers’ needs – this acquisition allows us to start to hybridise our generation profile, and is the first step in our journey to become a true customer-oriented, risk-balanced, renewable energy solutions provider.”
