The Portuguese company added that the stake is reinforced by “the rights of active intervention in the management” and is also assured “the right to, in the future, come to reinforce its level of shareholder participation.”

“The conclusion of this transaction allows GreenVolt, alongside with NIC, to pursue the ambitious growth and internationalization plan, strengthen their position within the European renewables energy sector and expansion of the business activities.”

“This acquisition is a very significant step for GreenVolt in one of the most important renewable energy markets in the world, namely solar. The entry of GreenVolt in Germany through MaxSolar, makes it an important player in this market,” said João Manso Neto, quoted in the previous statement.
