“Renewable energy markets are experiencing rapid growth. Across Europe, citizens, businesses and governments are under increasing pressure to deploy large-scale solar power generation capacity in order to strengthen energy independence and take action against climate change. Photovoltaic solar projects are becoming larger and more numerous. Becoming part of a major international energy group was therefore a strategic step to accelerate our growth, which is why we decided to join EDP group,” says Grégoire de Pierpont, CEO of Enerdeal.
The company will be responsible for the development, financing, construction and operation of distributed solar energy solutions throughout the Benelux region. Enerdeal’s local expertise in B2B photovoltaic solar projects perfectly complements EDP’s renewable energy capabilities, supporting the transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
For employment and economic growth in Belgium and Luxembourg, this is positive news. “We intend to double our revenue by 2025 and strengthen our teams by recruiting a large number of highly specialised professionals. Over the next three years, we plan to install an additional one million square metres of solar infrastructure (rooftops, parking facilities, and other sites). This significant expansion represents an additional installed solar capacity of 100 MWp, enough to supply electricity to approximately 25,000 households,” concludes Grégoire de Pierpont.
