Alcazar owns five solar and two wind projects in Egypt and Jordan with a total operational capacity of 411MW. It was established in 2014 and has raised over US$700 million in debt and equity.

French investment bank Natixis, its affiliates Vermilion Partners and EFG Hermes acted as Three Gorges’ financial advisors in the deal. Standard Chartered was Alcazar’s exclusive financial counsellor. The purchase will see the Chinese company develop a presence in the Middle East and North African region, while last year it also acquired a 500MW portfolio in Spain.
