Nuveen Infrastructure, which owns Glennmont Partners, is the latest organisation to join trade association SolarPower Europe.
The move sees Nuveen join over 280 organisations across the European solar supply chain in presenting a unified industry voice to shape the EU’s policy and environment.
Nuveen has joined SolarPower Europe following a series of recent European investments, including the acquisition of a 65MW of Italian solar PV portfolio in April of this year.
This has come alongside a period of sustained success for Nuveen’s own IPP, BNZ, which manages over 1.7GW across Southern Europe and has currently over 200MW of solar PV projects under construction.
Joost Bergsma, Chief executive and managing partner at Glennmont Partners from Nuveen, said: “We have been a significant investor in European solar for over 15 years, and our membership of SolarPower Europe further underscores the key role for solar that lies ahead.
“Nuveen Infrastructure sees the enormous potential of solar PV as one of the lowest-cost, versatile, and most job-creating and clean energy sources as Europe accelerates its energy transition investments.
“As solar is now significantly scaled up in Europe, it is now even more critical to maintain tight supply chain integrity, which is why we are pleased to commit to the solid uniform set of ESG best practice that SolarPower Europe’s steward initiative provides.”
