EDF Renewables To Acquire 50% Stake In Solar, DG Firm

EDF Renewables North America and EnterSolar, a provider of distributed generation solar solutions to corporate commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, announced a strategic partnership whereby EDF Renewables will acquire a 50 percent interest in EnterSolar, under which the companies will offer C&I customers a comprehensive array of behind-the-meter services.

As part of the agreement, EDF Renewables is providing growth capital as well as additional project financing capabilities to EnterSolar.

"We are impressed with the quality of the EnterSolar team and the striking natural fit between our offerings. EnterSolar has a remarkable customer satisfaction track record with C&I customers, while EDF Renewables Distributed Solutions brings strength and experience specific to ground-mount solar projects up to 30 MWp alongside behind-the-meter battery storage for the C&I sector. This new partnership will benefit from complementary synergies," said Raphael Declercq, executive vice president, EDF Renewables. "The partnership now provides our customers with a wider choice of comprehensive distributed energy solutions."
