GOLDBECK SOLAR acquires GP JOULE PV

GOLDBECK SOLAR and GP JOULE Group announce that the former has acquired the latter's PV-EPC business unit in North America.

Please share:

GOLDBECK SOLAR and the GP JOULE Group announce that GOLDBECK SOLAR has acquired GP JOULE’s PV-EPC business unit in North America.

It is now the sole shareholder of the two North American companies: GP JOULE PV Canada Corp and GP JOULE PV USA Inc.

With this acquisition, GOLDBECK SOLAR strengthens its position in the Americas, having existing operations in Chile and Mexico. The purchase includes the acquisition of the entire GP JOULE EPC NA team. As well as the use of the local brand for a limited time.

More growth expected in North America

The acquisition is the next natural step in GOLDBECK SOLAR’s growth strategy. After investing in a portfolio of projects in Canada earlier this year, the company has shown strong interest in designing and building solar power plants in North America, as it has done successfully for more than 20 years in Europe, Asia and South America.

David Pichard, CEO of GP JOULE EPC NA, comments:

“Over the past 10 years, we have exponentially grown a team that delivers world-class assets to the power plant market. Being part of the GOLDBECK SOLAR family brings immediate synergies in systems and supply chain. Expansion into operations and maintenance services to continue to provide the best value to our customers.”

GP JOULE PV Canada Corp and GP JOULE PV USA Inc were subsidiaries of the GP JOULE group. The company has over 200 MWp of projects built in North America over the past 10 years.

GP JOULE EPC NA specializes in serving utilities and C&I customers. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Toronto. She has also been in Calgary since 2016. It has more recently established a location in Halifax in 2022. Its US satellite office is located in Los Gatos, California.

The company GP JOULE

GP Joule was founded in 2009 on the conviction that a 100% renewable energy supply is possible. Today, GP JOULE is a system supplier for integrated energy solutions based on solar energy. As well as wind energy and biomass.

GP JOULE is therefore a pioneer in the field of sector interconnection. About 500 people work for this group of medium-sized companies in Germany, Europe and North America.

GP JOULE is also the winner of the Schleswig-Holstein Business Environment Award 2019. It is also the winner of the German Renewable Energy Award 2020.
