The agreement will allow Glennmont to enter the South Korean market as well continue the expansion of its operations in Asia, said Joost Bergsma, Glennmont’s CEO and managing partner.

Harrison Kim, head of the energy solution business division at SK D&D, said: “The electricity trading business requires having solar PV assets, and we started to discuss co-investment opportunities with one of the leading renewable energy funds, Glennmont Partners from Nuveen. SK D&D will establish a virtual power plant platform by acquiring a large number of power generation assets, forecasting yield, and utilising digital O&M solutions”.

Earlier this year, BNZ, a newly launched independent power producer from Glennmont, announced the development of a solar PV portfolio in Spain with an initial capacity of 473MWp.
