Smart Energies

General information

Smart Energies is a leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) specializing in the development, financing, construction, and operation of renewable energy projects across Europe. Established in 2012, Smart Energies evolved from the former SPTI group, which boasted a rich history in the oil industry during the 20th century (import-export, refining, distribution). Demonstrating foresight, the group entirely divested from fossil fuels in the 1980s to prioritize alternative sectors, with a particular focus on renewable energy and hydroelectric power.
