Amarenco is targeting more than 1TWh of annual production in the next two years backed by more than 1GW of installed capacity. The company expects to transition to a fully integrated IPP model generating recurring earnings from energy production and asset rotation over the period, it said.

The Cork-headquartered company has around 650MW of installed solar capacity and 94MW of storage.

Funding comes after Amarenco secured a €300m junior holdco platform financing via Eiffel Investment Group in January. Eiffel committed €150m in the eighth collaboration between the companies.

Amarenco has secured more than €1bn from top-tier European financial institutions since the start of 2025.

It merged with Methode Carre, a French solar project designer, in 2018. UK-based Arjun took a 30% stake in the company in 2023.
