This transaction is part of Altarea’s strategy to diversify its activities and strengthen its presence in the renewable energies sector. The acquisition will not only increase Altarea’s production capacity but also support its long-term growth objectives. The renewable energies market is booming, and investment in this sector is essential to meet future energy needs. With this acquisition, Altarea is positioning itself as a key player in the development of solar energy in France, increasing its installed capacity and project pipeline. The acquisition of Prejeance Industrial marks an important milestone for Altarea, strengthening its photovoltaic platform and underpinning its growth ambitions in the renewable energies sector.
