Stonepeak Acquires Interest in Solaria's Generia Land


Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, and Solaria Energía y Medio Ambiente ("Solaria")(BME: SLR), one of Spain's leading renewable independent power producers, today announced that Stonepeak has completed the acquisition of an interest in Solaria's land platform dedicated to renewables, Generia Land, S.L. ("Generia" or "the Company"). Together, Stonepeak and Solaria will have joint ownership and governance of Generia.

Established in 2022, Generia is dedicated to sourcing, acquiring, and leasing land in Europe to renewable energy projects, including solar, wind, and battery storage. The Company has a multi-tenant strategy, sourcing and acquiring land for projects being developed by both Solaria and third-party developers. Generia currently has thousands of hectares of land, primarily in Spain and Italy, and will acquire additional land with Stonepeak's investment. This land will support more than 4 GW of supported renewable energy projects. Stonepeak intends to continue to invest behind Generia's strong near-term pipeline of growth opportunities, which is supported by Solaria's broader goals of developing 18GW of capacity for multiple technologies by 2030.

Anthony Borreca, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Energy at Stonepeak, said, "The European energy market is in the midst of an incredible transformation, with renewable generation capacity expected to more than double between 2020 and 2030, and securing land is undoubtedly an essential role in this transition. We view land aggregation as an attractive and downside-protected segment of the value chain, given its propensity for long-term, inflation-linked revenues, with limited power price exposure."

He continued, "Generia's robust pipeline, coupled with Solaria's established presence in Europe, make it a perect fit for our newly established independent land aggregation platform, which will look to construct a diversified portfolio of grid-connected sites for critical renewable energy infrastructure across Europe. We look forward to scaling Generia and playing a meaningful role in the development of European renewables over the coming decades."

Arturo Díaz-Tejeiro Larrañaga, Chief Executive Officer of Solaria, added, "It is a great honor to partner with a top-tier investor like Stonepeak to build one of Europe's leading renewable land platforms. The region offers significant growth potential for these types of investments, supported by strong governmental support for renewable energy and the energy transition. We are confident that Generia will play a key role in securing the land needed to meet the ambitious renewables targets set across Europe."

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and the transaction has already closed. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Watson, Farley & Williams served as legal counsel to Stonepeak. White & Case LLP served as legal counsel and Alantra and Kutxabank Investment served as financial advisor to Solaria.
