Global alternative asset manager Alantra and Spanish solar PV company Solarig, backed by €265 million from Switzerland’s Reichmuth and France’s Amundi Energy Transition, have launched a new Southern European solar investment platform to realize a portfolio of 1.9 GW PV in Italy and Spain.

Under plans unveiled, Alantra Solar will be supported by an investment vehicle called N-Sun Energy that will gradually acquire the portfolio’s plants for €1.7 billion, out of which €700 million will be equity and remaining €1.0 billion debt.

N-Sun Energy will gradually acquire the plants as these reach ready-to-build (RTB) stage post which these will take 18 months to come online, altogether by 2025-end. Of the targeted 1.9 GW, it has already acquired initial 8 plants with 330 MW capacity. Alantra Solar will also provide asset management services for N-Sun Energy.

Solarig will oversee development of different plants to start their commercial operations and also provide its O&M services.
