As an integrated operator with a global footprint, SOLEK GROUP covers the entire renewable energy chain, from development to operation and maintenance, with a special focus on solar projects. The group has financing from the French bank Natixis and Cifi of Panama. Another strategic cooperation was dealt with the Global Renewable Power Fund III of the American BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, for which SOLEK will build up to 200 MW of solar power plants. SOLEK will build 13 solar power plants for the Swiss Nala Renewables. Moreover, SOLEK is developing a green hydrogen project with the Chilean port of Puerto San Antonio.
