Matrix Renewables has appointed Luis Sabaté as chief operating officer to direct the execution of Matrix Renewables’ key operational strategies.
He will also be responsible for aligning its corporate goals and its endeavours to globally acquire, develop and operate renewable energy projects.
Prior to joining Matrix Renewables, Sabaté has previously held executive positions in the energy, engineering, consulting, and manufacturing industries including numerous positions at SunEdison, across several locations worldwide, and BP Solar Spain.
He comes, most recently, from leading operations at NexTracker, the global leader in solar tracking technology, from their headquarters in Fremont, California.
He said: “I’m thrilled to be embarking on this new opportunity and to work with the Matrix Renewables team, to ensure the correct implementation of strategies and initiatives and to enable streamlined and agile operations across the company as it continues to grow.”
Matrix Renewables launched in July 2020 with the acquisition of around 1GW of Solar PV projects from leading solar panel manufacturer Trina Solar.
Since then, Matrix Renewables has added two more transactions to its portfolio, earlier this year, purchasing 154MW of distributed generation solar assets from Verano Capital under Chile’s PMGD program and signing a 1GW partnership agreement with Rolwind Group in Spain.
Matrix is on track to further expand its portfolio across Europe and recently entered the US market where it will be establishing a permanent presence over the next quarter.
