The Getxo-based multinational, specialized in solar photovoltaic energy, shows solid results in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting intense construction activity and the contribution of new megawatts brought into service by the Power Generation (POWGEN) unit in Spain, Chile and India during 2019 and the start of 2020.
Ardian becomes a minority partner in both projects following the agreement signed between Solarpack and the infrastructure fund manager in September.
