Starting with Poland, the collaboration supports energy transition across the region, bringing EuroEnergy’s projects pipeline to over 400 MW under development in four countries
EuroEnergy, a renewable energy subsidiary of Libra Group with assets and operations in the European Union, has announced the launch of a new partnership with Afcon Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of the Israeli multi-system projects and technologies group, Afcon Holdings, to invest at scale in renewable energy across Poland.
With an investment program of approximately 80 million Euro in 2 projects in Poland as specified below. Τhe partnership will construct and operate a 20 MW solar park in the Boguszyn precinct in southwest Poland, located 36 miles from the provincial capital, Poznan. It also provides EuroEnergy with a 100 MW project pipeline, bringing the company’s total pan-European pipeline of projects to more than 400 MW. EuroEnergy will also establish an office in Poland to facilitate its further growth.
Construction of the project which is fully licensed, will begin in late May 2023 and is expected to connect to the grid in early 2024. The partnership between Afcon and EuroΕnergy has the potential of expansion across Central Europe region with a broad spectrum of renewable energy investments, including wind, PV, and battery storage.
The deal marks an important milestone for EuroEnergy, geographically diversifying its portfolio as well as growing its asset base. The latest projects increase the company’s European presence by adding Poland to Greece, Romania, and Croatia. This new venture also expands the footprint of EuroEnergy’s parent company, Libra Group, which has multiple renewable energy subsidiaries across North America, Latin America and Europe. The Group’s total renewable energy portfolio currently includes approximately 3 GW of projects owned, developed, or pending development in nine countries, spanning solar, wind, battery storage, and waste-to-energy projects.

"As Afcon expands its operations in the renewable energy market in Poland, I would like to thank Dimitrios Antoniou, Afcon's EVP, for leading this transaction."
Fanis Mermigkousis, CEO of EuroEnergy, further commented: “This partnership with such a like-minded and forward-thinking team as Afcon’s will only grow stronger in the future, both in Poland and other geographies. Poland becomes the fourth core European renewable energy market for EuroEnergy as we build one of the most sizable Central and Southeastern European renewable energy platforms. We are thrilled to be part of this joint venture and are fully committed to its success. We look forward to reporting on more exciting developments as we pave the way for further growth, diversification, and innovation.”
