Founded in Ireland in 2013, Amarenco is an independent and innovative company specializing in renewable energy, with a core focus on photovoltaic solar power and a strategic expansion into energy storage.
Full Project Lifecycle Management
Amarenco focuses on distributed energy and utility-scale projects, managing them from start to finish – from conception, development, financing, and construction to long-term operation. We take a portfolio approach, managing assets throughout their lifetime and optimising both the energy stored and the energy produced.
Geographical Presence
Amarenco operates in five regions across Europe: France, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Austria. The company brings together more than 210 employees (average FTE: 210,38) of 25 different nationalities.
Core Activities
Amarenco’s business is structured around two main activities:
1. Photovoltaic Solar Power
Production of low-carbon, competitively priced electricity based on distributed energy and utility-scale energy power plants. These include not onlyground mounted, carpark androoftops, but also agrisolar, an infrastructurethat combine agriculture with solar energy production, delivering shared benefits for farmers, energy producers, local communities, and the environment.
2. Energy Storage
Ensuring reliability, stability, and efficiency – essential for integrating high shares of intermittent renewables into the power grid.
Energy model: PRODUCE AND SELL LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
The monetisation of locally produced electricity relies on several complementary models: PPAs, which secure stable and competitive prices through long-term contracts; individual self-consumption, allowing direct consumption of energy produced on-site with sale of the surplus; and collective self-consumption, which promotes local sharing of electricity among several actors within the same territory.
Commitment and Vision
Amarenco promotes a regenerative approach, going beyond simple sustainability to actively restore and strengthen natural and social ecosystems. This is embodied in the company’s slogan: “Invest in RE.Generation”, reflecting the ambition to generate renewable energy while regenerating living systems.
Strategy and Growth
Amarenco raised €630 million between 2020 and 2025 to support international growth through acquisitions and partnerships.
Launched the ECHO program in 2020, dedicated to regeneration, along with a partnership with AXA Climate through the Butterfly program.
Signed its first regenerative CPPA (Corporate Power Purchase Agreement) in 2024 in Ireland (37 MW), linking revenue to ecosystem restoration.
Already achieved over 600 MW of production capacity and secured a pipeline of 1.6 GW.
Targets: 1 GW by 2026, 3 GW by 2030, and 25 GW by 2050.
