Through its subsidiary PPC Energy Group (PPC), Penta investment group opens a pan-European call for investment projects in the energy sector.
“We want to give a clear signal to the market that we want to invest in energy and that – despite the current crisis – Penta has resources for investing in new projects. The energy sector is among the so-called defensive sectors which are not so hard-stricken by the current crisis,” said Jozef Sekerka, Managing Director PPC Energy Group.
Eligible projects should meet the following parameters:
- investment in the range of EUR 80 million to EUR 300 million
- energy output of the source from 100 to 400 MW.
“Given the orientation of PPC, we are looking mainly for projects in the area of combined heat and power generation, power generation, and heat generation and distribution,” concluded Jozef Sekerka.
The details of the call are published on the website www.paroplyn.sk.
