MPC Energy Solutions achieves financial close and starts construction for 21 MW solar power plants in El Salvador
Amsterdam/Oslo– 11 January 2022 – MPC Energy Solutions (MPCES) has achieved the financial close of its Santa Rosa & Villa Sol solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in El Salvador, which have a combined capacity of 21.07 MWp. The financial close with local lender Banco Agrícola, a subsidiary of Bancolombia, also marks the successful conclusion of the engineering phase. Enerland Group, the Spanish multinational EPC company and contractor for this project, will commence construction works later this month.
Energy production from the Santa Rosa & Villa Sol project is expected to start in Q4 2022. The minor delay in project execution was caused by a change of the construction contractor. The plants will generate around 43 GWh a year and MPCES expects an annual revenue contribution from this project of around USD 3.5 million. The project’s solar power will offer substantial environmental benefits, avoiding nearly 11,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Once commissioned, the solar plants will sell all their generated energy through a 20-year USD-denominated power purchase agreement (PPA) with CAESS, the local subsidiary of US-based energy company AES. The total investment to reach COD is USD 25.3 million, of which 75% is financed through a 15-year project financing facility.
As part of MPCES’s ongoing commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) measures, the firm has set a minimum target of 10% for the participation of women in the construction workforce.
Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, said: “The Government of El Salvador considers the energy sector a strong contributor to economic and social development. The diversification of the energy mix towards clean energy sources has been prioritized. This draws up a long-term energy strategy for the country and shows the high potential of the renewable energy market. We are excited to support the country in this important initiative.”
El Salvador has a long history of renewable energy, primarily biomass, hydropower, geothermal and recently solar PV. The deployment of renewable energy technologies reached approximately 1.6 GW in 2021, providing about 30-40% of the national energy supply. National energy demand grew by 6% p.a. in the past five years and is still met mainly by oil fuelled thermal power. The electricity market is liberalized and unbundled with the majority of power plants owned and operated by private IPPs. The government has adopted the Paris Agreement and is currently revising its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to be in compliance with its commitment to the 1.5°C global goal.

MPC Energy Solutions publishes Q3 2021 results
Amsterdam/Oslo– 30 November 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions N.V. (“MPCES” or “Company”), Amsterdam, published its Q3 2021 report this morning. As a key message, the Company confirmed its outlook for the coming years, targeting an installed capacity of at least 177 MW and USD 40 million annual asset-level revenue by 2023.
“The market trends affecting our industry have become stronger than ever over the past few months”, said Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions. “The commitments made during COP26 emphasize the need for an ambitious pathway to net zero emission. Our core markets in Latin America and the Caribbean are among the most affected by climate change and thus also among the most ambitious when it comes to energy transition. We have, with our strong portfolio and deep backlog, a tremendous position to support the transition, and we have recently confirmed several new projects in the region. Over time we have both the capabilities and ambitions to expand to additional territories.”
Among the key milestones during the third quarter ending 30 September 2021 and the months thereafter were the capital deployment and construction start for 26.6 MW Colombian solar PV plant Planeta Rica, the signing for a 15.8 MW operational solar PV plant in Mexico, and the agreed partnership to co-develop 50 to 100 MW with Soventix Caribbean in the Dominican Republic.
“The acquisition of the power plant in Mexico will be closed during the first quarter of 2022. And the project with Soventix should be able to commence commercial operation as early as 2023”, states Vogt. “At the same time, delays in equipment deliveries following globally disrupted supply chains will cause delays in our construction projects of up to six months.”
MPCES also provided details on its proprietary development projects, which include 352 MW of projects under ownership and 221 MW of projects with exclusive access or rights of first refusal. An amount of up to USD 6 million has been set aside to advance these projects to ready-to-build status over the next 18 to 24 months.
At the end of the third quarter 2021, MPCES reports total assets of USD 84.1 million, which mostly consisted of non-current assets of USD 11.6 million – mainly project and strategic investments – and USD 72.1 million of cash. The Company’s EBITDA was still negative at USD 2.4 million year-to-date (thereof USD 0.7 million for the third quarter), following the ramp-up of the organization, expenses for transaction-related services, and project development efforts. MPCES has no long-term debt.
CFO Stefan H.A. Meichsner adds: “It is our objective to fully commit the capital raised during the IPO by the end of this year. We are on track.”
The Q3 report is attached hereto and has also been published on the Company's website at https://www.mpc-energysolutions.com/investor-relations/news-publications.
The financial results as well as an update on the Company’s projects will be given during a conference call and simultaneous webcast for the investment community today at 8:00 am CEST (see details below).
Q3 webcast:
The Company will host a webcast on Tuesday, 30 November 2021 at 08:00 am CEST.

The Dominican government is continuously pushing to increase competitiveness and strengthen local energy generation through renewable sources, and we are delighted to partner with Soventix Caribbean, with a strong position regionally and tremendous experience in developing and building solar PV projects in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean region.”
Martin Vogt, CEO at MPC Energy Solutions, said: “This is another important step in terms of executing on our attractive project pipeline. We are in the process of building up an operational portfolio as a leading independent power producer (IPP) with a highly diversified portfolio and attractive rates of return.”
The Dominican Republic is the largest existing renewables independent power producer market in the Caribbean, with about 650 MW of installed wind and solar power capacity. The Dominican government intends to generate 25% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025 and plans to be CO2 neutral by 2050. To achieve these goals, the Dominican government has made the development of renewable energy projects a priority. Diversifying the country’s energy matrix and reducing reliance on fossil fuels will be important steps for the Dominican Republic’s future.
Alfonso Rodriguez, CEO and Partner at Soventix Caribbean, said:“We are delighted to partner with the professional team of MPC Energy Solutions for this important project. On our way to becoming one of the leading project developers for solar plants in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic has always been a focus region for us. We share MPCES's vision of a region that is sustainable and where the natural environment is preserved for future generations alongside a thriving economy and society. We are certain that our daily work brings us closer to this goal, and this partnership with MPC Energy Solutions strongly supports it.”

MPC Energy Solutions selects EPC contractor for the construction of new 21 MW solar power plants in El Salvador
Amsterdam/Oslo– 2 September 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions (MPCES) has selected ISOTRON SA, part of Spanish Grupo ISASTUR, as EPC contractor for the construction of its Santa Rosa & Villa Sol solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in El Salvador, which have a combined capacity of 21.07 MWp. The construction will commence in September upon financial close with the project financing lender. The renewable power plants are fully owned by MPCES and this is the first project to start construction from the proprietary development pipeline of the Company.
The solar plants will sell all their generated energy through a 20-year USD-denominated power purchase agreement (PPA) with CAESS, the local subsidiary of US-based energy company AES. The total investment is USD 26 million of which 75% is financed through a project financing facility.
“The selection of the construction contractor is an important milestone. The groundbreaking of Santa Rosa & Villa Sol in September shows the inherent value of the project portfolio we have had under ownership since our stock market debut earlier this year and is another proof point that we can successfully execute projects in the region. More than 60% of the energy generated in El Salvador comes from clean and renewable sources, largely thanks to the country’s efforts to diversify its power mix. This shows the high potential of the market and we are excited to support the country in this important initiative.” said Martin Vogt, CEO at MPC Energy Solutions.
Energy production from the Santa Rosa & Villa Sol project is expected to start in 2022. When commissioned, the plants will generate almost 43 GWh a year. MPCES expects an annual revenue contribution from this project of at least USD 3.5 million. The project’s solar power will offer substantial environmental benefits, avoiding nearly 11,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. As part of MPCES’s ongoing commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance measures, the firm has set a minimum target of 10% for the participation of females in the construction workforce.
Martin Vogt said: “This solar PV project perfectly aligns with our strategy to build high-quality renewable energy assets together with private sector clients in Central America and it is another step towards our aim to become a leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the region. Our long-standing network and expertise in this region will help building a strong and diversified portfolio which will generate attractive returns for our shareholders.”

MPC Energy Solutions publishes 2021 Half Year Report
Amsterdam/Oslo– 31 August 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions N.V., Amsterdam, ("MPC Energy Solutions", "Company", or “MPCES”) today gives an update on the figures for the second quarter and half year of 2021. The Company was successfully listed through an IPO in January 2021 and continues to implement its operations, projects and strategy in Latin America and the Caribbean, as outlined at the time of the IPO.
“Our plan is to build up an operational portfolio as a leading independent power producer (IPP) with a highly diversified portfolio and attractive rates of return. At this stage, we focus entirely on Latin America and the Caribbean, a region particularly well suited for renewable energy,” Stefan H.A. Meichsner, CFO of MPC Energy Solutions, says, and continues:
“We have a significant set of projects under development, and many of them achieved important milestones this year, including the signing of power purchase agreements, financial close and start of construction. This is evidence of our project management and execution capabilities and how we benefit from our own local presence in the region.”
MPCES has, during the first half-year, operated under a challenging business environment caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and disrupted global supply chains. Nevertheless, the Company has made significant steps ahead, along the previously announced plans, in 2021. MPC Energy Solutions has signed two new power purchase agreements (PPAs) for the solar PV projects Los Girasoles and Planeta Rica and a total of four projects commenced construction or prepared construction start in El Salvador (Santa Rosa & Villa Sol), Colombia (Los Girasoles, Planeta Rica) and Puerto Rico (Neol CHP). Once operational, these four projects combined will have an installed capacity of 63 MW and an annual energy generation of around 137 GWh. Commissioning of Neol CHP is scheduled for October, while the other projects start commercial operation in 2022. Long-term power purchase agreements have been signed for all four projects. MPCES will invest a total of USD 34 million in these projects, which will cost USD 70 million to be built and put into operation.
In addition, the Company approved an investment into a solar PV and storage hybrid project in the Eastern Caribbean with an equity requirement of USD 17 million. The project will have an installed capacity of 36 MW and an annual electricity output of approximately 64 GWh. MPCES also continued the development of projects in Colombia, Jamaica and, through its exclusive asset development partnership with Enernet Global, in Puerto Rico, and pursues the acquisition of operational assets as well.
As of 30 June 2021, the Company reports total assets of USD 85.0 million, with cash and cash equivalents of USD 81.0 million, and project and strategic investments of USD 3.6 million to date. Total operating losses (EBITDA) during the first six months of the year amount to USD 1.7 million (thereof USD 1.4 million for the second quarter). Operating expenses mainly relate to the ramp-up of the organization as well as project development and due diligence for projects and are in line with the Company’s expectations. The Company has no long-term debt.
Stefan H.A. Meichsner comments: “Despite our strong progress over the last few months, Covid-19 delays mean that we are slightly behind our original schedule. However, our PPAs only commence with start of commercial operations, and we have sufficient buffer in our project schedules, leaving no adverse economic impact on our returns. Our team is handling the situation very well. We are still well on track to achieving our goals for this year.”
The Q2 report is attached hereto and has also been published on the Company's website at www.mpc-energysolutions.com. The Company will provide a more comprehensive update on the Q2 figures and its activities during a webcast today (see details below).
Q2 webcast:
The Company will host a webcast on Tuesday, 31 August 2021 at 09:00 hours CEST. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation, and a recording and written transcript of the webcast will be published on the Company’s website afterwards.

MPC Energy Solutions commences construction of 26.55 MW solar PV plant in Colombia
Amsterdam/Oslo– 12 August 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions (MPCES) and Akuo Energy have commenced construction of Parque Solar Planeta Rica, a solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Colombia. The project is a joint venture with Akuo Energy, a leading French developer and operator of renewable energy projects.
“The start of the construction of the Planeta Rica project in Colombia is another important step forward for MPC Energy Solutions, executing on our significant project pipeline as outlined at the time of our IPO in January 2021. Our plan is to build up an operational portfolio as a leading independent power producer (IPP) with a highly diversified portfolio and attractive rates of return. We are highly dedicated to Latin America, and Colombia is a particularly attractive market, having the strongest growth rate for renewable energy in the region,” said Martin Vogt, CEO at MPC Energy Solutions.
The total investment for erecting the Planeta Rica plant is approximately USD 24 million. MPCES and Akuo Energy are the equity sponsors whereby the debt financing is provided by Bancolombia. Financial close was achieved in early August. Bancolombia is the largest commercial bank in Colombia and one of the largest in Latin America as well as a leader in directing capital towards environmentally sustainable investments accross the region.
The project will sell all generated electricity under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to a leading regional utility with AAA (col) credit rating by Fitch Ratings. Planeta Rica is the second Colombian project with a signed PPA within MPCES’s portfolio. The Los Girasoles solar PV project was the first project that signed a PPA earlier this year. The commercialization of energy of both projects is fully aligned with the company’s strategy to support the private sector and corporate clients with clean energy.
Energy production from the Planeta Rica project is expected to start in early Q3 2022. The Planeta Rica plant will have an installed capacity of 26.55 MWp, while delivering enough electricity to satisfy the energy needs of over 10,000 households in Colombia.
During the construction phase, the plant will employ over 200 people with a requirement for a proportion of those workers to be female. When the plant is commissioned, it will avoid the emission of over 4,000 tons of CO2 each year and provide a sustainable source of clean electricity.
Martin Vogt said: “We believe Colombia has the potential to be a leader in terms of moving towards a cleaner energy future and we have had a dedicated team in the country for several years. This OECD country is rich in sources of renewable energy and just like many other countries in Latin America, Colombia has ambitious targets for transition to renewable energy. We are excited to build and operate this project together with such a reputable and experienced partner as Akuo Energy. Planeta Rica is our first Colombian project to start construction demonstrating the successful start of implementation of our solar portfolio here. The Planeta Rica project will support the country’s transition towards a low-carbon future and help boost its resilience. The increasing scale of our operations in Colombia also allows us to ensure that high-value skills learnt from the construction and operation of these cutting-edge facilities help to enhance the broader economic development of Colombia.”

MPC Energy Solutions invests in energy efficiency through cogeneration in Puerto Rico
Amsterdam/Oslo– 7 June 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions N.V. has signed the acquisition of a 3.4 MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) project in Puerto Rico. The project will sell the produced heat and power under a 12-year USD-denominated energy service agreement to a pharmaceutical company. This is MPC Energy Solutions’ first acquisition since its listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange’s Euronext Growth segment in January 2021. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and expected for August 2021.
The project is currently under construction with expected commissioning to take place in August 2021. Once complete, it is expected to produce 25,000-30,000 MWh of energy supply annually and will lead to a reduction of 100,000 tons of CO2 over the 12-years contract period. The investment aligns perfectly with MPC Energy Solutions’ strategy to focus on the corporate sector as a source of clients and to build strategic partnerships for accelerated capital deployment such as with Enernet Global Inc.
Cogeneration projects offer substantial economic and environmental benefits to its users as they simultaneously produce heat and power. These benefits include lower overall energy costs, improved reliability, and reduced thermal energy consumption. The implementation of this project will lead to a reduction of carbon emissions of up to 30%.
Martin Vogt, CEO at MPC Energy Solutions, said: “Like a number of other countries within the region, Puerto Rico offers an attractive market with strong growth potential within the renewables sector. This latest investment shows our commitment to meeting growing demand from the region’s corporate sector which is looking to achieve a reduction in its carbon emissions as a whole. As we work hard to deliver our portfolio of projects across Latin America and the Caribbean, we will be assessing additional opportunities in Puerto Rico as we continue to help the region with its transformation from fossil fuels towards cleaner energies. This is also the first project implemented from the strategic partnership with Enernet Global Inc.”
The Company already owns a development portfolio of 334 MW solar PV projects in Colombia, El Salvador and Jamaica. In addition, the Company has built a project pipeline of around 300 MW in Latin America and the Caribbean.

MPC Energy Solutions provides update on the first quarter of 2021
Amsterdam/Oslo – 31 May 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions N.V., Amsterdam, ("MPC Energy Solutions", "the Company") today gives an update on the Q1 2021 figures. The Company only commenced its full operations in early 2021. The result and the balance sheet for the first quarter therefore do not yet allow any conclusions to be drawn about the Company's expected operating performance.
At the beginning of the year 2021, MPC Energy Solutions successfully raised gross cash proceeds (before IPO-related brokerage and advisory fees) of USD 90 million in advance of its listing on Oslo Stock Exchange’s Euronext Growth segment on 22 January 2021.
The Company did not generate revenues between January and March 2021. All projects were still in the development phase. The operating loss (EBIT) for the quarter was USD 0.35 million.
During the first quarter, cash was mainly used to increase the equity stake in the Company’s US-based partner Enernet Global Inc., repay loans from the original sponsor of MPC Energy Solutions, and to fund the Company’s regional subsidiaries and project development activities. The cash position on 31 March 2021 stood at USD 82.7 million. The Company has no financial debt.
Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, comments: “The first quarter of 2021 marked the operational launch of our Company. We have already made tremendous progress developing our projects and growing our pipeline through exclusive access to several projects throughout our initial target investment region, namely Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Since the IPO in January, the Company has secured exclusivity for projects in Colombia, Mexico, Panama and the Eastern Caribbean, expanding the current project pipeline to around 300 MW in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is in addition to the already owned development portfolio of 334 MW solar PV projects in Colombia, El Salvador and Jamaica.
“We expect to close acquisitions of our first assets and begin construction for some of our solar PV plants in Colombia and El Salvador over the next few months. As many of our projects quickly approach greater maturity, we are further growing our local resources and corporate structure along with the anticipated growth, focusing on a lean and high-quality setup.”
The Q1 report is attached hereto and will be published on the Company's homepage at www.mpc-energysolutions.com. The Company will provide an update on the Q2 figures on 31 August 2021.

MPC Energy Solutions looks to bolster renewable energy in the Caribbean as part of a post-COVID recovery process
Amsterdam/Oslo – 25 May 2021 –The sponsor of MPCES, MPC Capital, joined the CGI Action Network in 2020 and announced a commitment to raise USD 90m from US-based impact investors, institutional investors and foundations over a two-year period to fund renewable energy infrastructure projects. Giving an update on progress regarding efforts to mobilize and deploy finance in the region, Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, will address the CGI Action Network’s meeting on Post-Disaster Recovery on the 25th of May.
Governments across the world, including in the Caribbean, have pledged to cut carbon emissions as they seek to build back better following the impact of the global pandemic which still rages on. Ensuring that regulatory structures encourage investment and creating a collaborative environment for multiple stakeholders to deliver on these climate change commitments remains a focus.
Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, said: “With its sector and regional expertise, MPC Energy Solutions can be the leading partner for regional and international public and private sector institutions to power and accelerate the energy transition in the region. I think it is clear that more capital is required to close the funding gap needed for a successful transition towards a net zero emission future in the region.”
“The CGI Action Network brings together leaders and organizations across business, government, and civil society to take action on the world’s most pressing challenges,” said Greg Milne, CEO of the Clinton Global Initiative. “Tackling climate change and resiliency is critical to our shared global future, and we have seen increasing engagement in renewable energy partnerships that create jobs, improve resilience, and reduce carbon footprints. MPC Energy Solutions and other members of the CGI community have shown the potential for the private sector to invest in these solutions and support this transition.”

MPC Energy Solutions signs power purchase agreement for Colombian solar PV project
Amsterdam/Oslo– 26 April 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions NV has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for Parque Solar Los Girasoles, a solar PV project under development in Colombia. The COP-denominated agreement includes the delivery of around 23 GWh a year over a 12 year period starting in Q2 2022. The agreement was signed with Grupo Renovatio, a leading Colombian energy trading firm and electricity supplier. This is MPC Energy Solutions’ first PPA since its listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange’s Euronext Growth segment on 22 January 2021.
The agreement has been secured through Grupo Renovatio’s private renewable energy auction, the first in the region, which seeks to provide an innovative solution that complements the energy sales and purchases mechanisms already available in the Colombian energy market, such as bilateral contracts with agents, non-regulated end users and public tenders. Construction of Parque Solar Los Girasoles is expected to start in Q3 2021, with energy production expected to start in Q2 2022. The project is part of the company´s 240 MWp solar portfolio, with five solar PV plants across three different regions within Colombia. This agreement between MPC Energy Solutions and Grupo Renovatio is the first one of a series of collaborations that the companies are discussing in Colombia.
Parque Solar Los Girasoles is located in the region of Norte de Santander, in a privileged radiation zone with nearby urban centres and transportation infrastructure, which ensures excellent conditions for construction and operation stages. The solar PV project which has a nominal capacity of 9.5 MW will avoid close to 100,000 tons of CO2 emmissions during the asset lifetime, considering the country’s CO2 emission factor.
Martin Vogt, CEO at MPC Energy Solutions, said: “This agreement is a great stepping stone for MPC Energy Solutions as we continue to build on our pipeline of projects in the region. With the Colombian government’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions and to decentralize and diversify the energy generation, we are likely to see a sharp increase in the share of renewable energies. Through beneficial partnerships such as this one with Grupo Renovatio, MPC Energy Solutions is committed to contribute to the green recovery and to become a leading independent power producer in Colombia.”
André Fraga, CEO at Grupo Renovatio, said: “At Grupo Renovatio, we are very pleased to sign this PPA with such a renowned international corporation. Our innovative efforts to organize, what has been coined as Latam’s first private renewable energy auction, have found high interest from key players willing to tackle climate change and to promote alternative energies in the region. This PPA is a milestone for Renovatio in its mission to become Colombia´s first 100% renewable energy supplier”.
The announcement follows recent news that MPC Energy Solutions has secured exclusivity for a portfolio of projects across the region.

MPC Energy Solutions further expands pipeline with three projects in Panama and Mexico
Solar PV and wind farm projects with a total capacity of more than 140 MW secured by entering into exclusivity agreements in Panama and Mexico
Initial IPO pipeline of 136 MW now expanded to a total of approximately 300 MW of operating, ready-to-build and development projects in Latin America and the Caribbean
Further diversification of the pipeline regarding country-focus, technology and project status
Amsterdam/Oslo – 15 March 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions NV (the Company) has secured exclusivity for a portfolio of projects in Panama and Mexico, continuing its strong start to operations since its IPO in January 2021. The news follows an announcement earlier this month on the Company making significant progress in the execution of its project pipeline and securing exclusivity for two projects in Colombia and the Eastern Caribbean.
The new projects have a total capacity of more than 140 MW in operational, ready-to-build and development stages, with debt financing being provided by development finance institutions. All new projects are expected to generate internal rates of return (IRR) exceeding the required return for the Company. The operational part of the portfolio sells its power through USD-denominated power purchase agreements to international corporates and MPC Energy Solutions intends to also secure USD-denominated power purchase agreements for the ready-to-build and development stage projects. The ready-to-build and development projects are expected to start construction in 2021 and 2022. With the addition of these assets, the pipeline of exclusively secured projects increases to about 300 MW, including the initial IPO pipeline of 136 MW.
MPC Energy Solutions expects that it will secure further exclusivity agreements in the upcoming weeks. The steadily growing project pipeline includes wind, solar and energy efficiency projects, both with development, ready-to-build and operational status. In line with the Company’s strategy and initial geographical focus, all projects are located in a diversified set of Latin America and the Caribbean countries, with a healthy mix of national and corporate off-takers.
Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, said: "In the past weeks we have already secured exclusivity for four projects in addition to our initial IPO pipeline. This shows the strong start to our activities by executing on the existing project pipeline and simultaneously adding attractive projects to secure short- to mid-term growth potential. It is exciting to see the rapid growth of our pipeline as we take further steps towards our commitment to aid the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean. As we work towards lowering the global carbon footprint, our diversified portfolio is set to cater to the energy needs of the region helping boost its resilience.”
At the beginning of the year, it was announced that MPC Energy Solutions had successfully raised a total of USD 100 million in advance of its listing on Oslo Stock Exchange’s Euronext Growth segment on 22 January 2021.

MPC Energy Solutions closes asset development agreement and strategic partnership for projects in the Caribbean and Asia Pacific
Hamburg/Oslo – 05 February 2021 – MPC Energy Solutions has announced the closing of an asset development agreement and strategic partnership with Enernet Global, a distributed energy service company that develops microgrid projects in Latin America, Africa, Australia and Asia. The new partnership provides the company with access to the growing microgrid sector in established and new markets.
The news of the partnership follows an investment into Enernet Global that has seen MPC Energy Solutions become a minority shareholder of the company. Enernet Global will develop the asset pipeline and performs the construction management.

Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, said: "This new partnership with Enernet Global will further accelerate our growth and deployment of assets. We remain strongly committed to the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean, but also see excellent opportunities in Asia Pacific. It is also a steppingstone that will see us move into new regions where we can continue to deliver strong returns for our shareholders while helping us with our main aim to reduce carbon emissions.”
Paul Matthews, CEO of Enernet, commented: “The partnership with MPC Energy Solutions will help us to achieve our mission to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Globally, many businesses and utilities still rely on diesel-generated power, while others suffer losses from costly power outages. Our Energy-as-a-Service model drives savings and delivers significant carbon emission reductions while providing more resilient systems and energy independence. Enernet Global and MPC Energy Solutions share a commitment to the advancement of the global energy market and a sustainable, renewables-based energy transition.”

MPC Capital launches MPC Energy Solutions as new renewable energy platform
- Private Placement of USD 100 million ahead of Euronext Growth Oslo listing
- MPC Energy Solutions offers integrated business model for renewable energy projects
- Pipeline of more than 500 MW of installed capacity in The Caribbean and Latin America
Hamburg/Oslo, 11 January 2021 – MPC Capital AG (Deutsche Börse Scale, ISIN DE000A1TNWJ4) has initiated a new renewable energy platform under the brand “MPC Energy Solutions”. In a private placement directed towards institutional investors, MPC Energy Solutions NV has successfully raised a total of NOK 857 million (USD 100 million) in advance of its listing on Oslo Stock Exchange’s Euronext Growth segment. The Private Placement attracted strong interest from Nordic and international high-quality investors and was multiple times oversubscribed.
MPC Energy Solutions was established by MPC Capital to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable and cost-competitive low-carbon energy infrastructure. As a developer, operator and owner of clean energy assets, it will support the transition towards a net zero-emission future. MPC Energy Solutions will develop and invest in renewable energy generation including utility-scale solar PV and wind farms, energy storage, co-generation as well as other infrastructure that helps reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Fully in line with its institutional co-investment strategy, MPC Capital has co-invested in the newly listed company.
Ulf Holländer, CEO of MPC Capital, said: “We have a strong team with a proven track record in renewable energies of more than ten years and made great strides towards becoming the leader in renewable energy infrastructure in the region of Latin America and The Caribbean. We look forward to further develop our renewable energy business as we continue to offer our investors the opportunity to capitalise on a strong growth sector with an ever-growing global demand for new projects.”
“The successful initiation of MPC Energy Solutions underlines the ability of the MPC group to tap capital markets for attractive real asset investment strategies. In doing so, Oslo Stock Exchange was an obvious choice in our search for the most suitable marketplace. The impressive track record with renewable companies provides for an educated and professional domestic and international investor base for companies like MPC Energy Solutions,” he said.
Integrated business model
MPC Energy Solutions will cover the full life cycle of a project by implementing an integrated business model. The Company will serve as the owner, developer and operator of the projects, helping to ensure these meet the highest possible standards while maximising the generated returns. The renewable projects are located mostly in emerging markets, which enables capital inflow in these countries.
Martin Vogt, CEO of MPC Energy Solutions, said: “The clean energy sector has matured materially in the past 10-15 years, but the environment is changing, and the simple deployment of solar PV and wind technology is often not sufficient anymore. The industry and our clients require solutions that provide around the clock low carbon, cost-competitive and reliable power supply. Therefore, it becomes critical to design projects that meet such demand utilizing different generation and storage technologies.”
Strong pipeline
“The company aims to implement projects with more than 500 MW of installed capacity of low carbon and renewable energy infrastructure over the next two years. Given our local presence and strong experience within the Caribbean and Latin America, we will build a first series of projects here before expanding into other parts of the world. In our core markets, the clean energy sector requires about USD 18 billion of investment in the coming decade. We aim to become the leading contributor to the energy transition in the region and beyond,” Mr Vogt said.
The Private Placement of MPC Energy Solutions was marketed by Fearnley Securities AS and SpareBank 1 Markets AS as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners. Advokatfirmaet Wiersholm AS has acted as Norwegian legal counsel.
