Through the acquisition, Econergy gains immediate scale in France, a diversified portfolio of assets, and a substantial pipeline of future development opportunities. Econergy has stated that it intends to build upon ESCOFI's established presence through ongoing project development, repowering initiatives and selective growth opportunities.
Marathon Capital is pleased to have advised Econergy on this strategic acquisition, which establishes the company's presence in one of Europe's largest renewable energy markets and supports the continued expansion of its European renewable energy portfolio.
