French utility EDF Renewables and Cero, a start-up portfolio company of Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, have signed a deal to buy agrivoltaic pioneer Green Lighthouse Development (GLHD).
GLHD, which has a 2.4GW solar development portfolio in France, specialises on projects with co-located agricultural activity and renewable energy production.
Under the agreement, EDF Renewables and Cero will each purchase a 45% stake in GLHD for an undisclosed amount, while the developer’s founders will keep the remaining 10% stake. EDF is a subsidiary of French state-owned nuclear power giant Électricité de France, or EDF.
