Greenvolt Group to Equip International Food Corporation with Photovoltaic Systems
Greenvolt Group Partners with Flora Food Group on Decentralized Energy Production Projects. Greenvolt Group has signed its first agreement with Flora Food Group, a global leader in the food industry, to develop two projects for decentralized energy production. Through its specialized energy distribution subsidiary, Greenvolt Next, the group will install nearly 5,000 photovoltaic panels at Flora Food Group facilities in Portugal and Germany.
The installations will collectively generate over 3 GWh of clean energy annually. The agreement includes the installation of 1,485 panels at the facility in Santa Iria da Azóia, Loures, Portugal, and 3,483 panels at the production site in Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
In Portugal, Greenvolt Next Portugal will implement panels with a capacity of 861.3 kWp, enabling the factory to produce 1.1 GWh of clean energy annually. In Germany, Greenvolt Next’s subsidiary Energy Partners (MaxSolar Group) will install panels with a capacity of 1,999 kWp, generating 1.99 GWh per year. Both projects aim to reduce energy costs by approximately 20%.
“These are significant distributed energy projects delivered through Greenvolt’s subsidiaries, showcasing the strength of the pan-European platform we are building,” said João Manso Neto, CEO of Greenvolt Group.
Recently, Greenvolt became part of the portfolio of KKR, a global fund focused on infrastructure investments.
“Being part of KKR’s portfolio enables us to accelerate Greenvolt’s growth plan while providing opportunities to collaborate with other KKR portfolio companies, like Flora Food Group, particularly in energy distribution,” added João Manso Neto.
Greenvolt Group’s Growth
Decentralized energy generation is a key pillar of Greenvolt Group’s growth. The company is steadily expanding its pan-European self-supply platform, currently operating in 13 countries. Greenvolt is a global leader in large-scale (utility-scale) wind and solar energy projects, as well as battery solutions across 16 countries. It is also a leading producer of clean energy from residual biomass in Portugal and the UK, where it owns Tilbury Green Power and Kent Central power plants.
“This partnership with Greenvolt aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. Installing panels at our facilities in Portugal and Germany is a concrete step toward reducing our footprint while improving operational efficiency,” emphasized Laurent Lavenut, Chief Operations and Product Officer at Flora Food Group.
