Sunscreen is a portfolio of rooftop and ground-mounted photovoltaic plants in Italy and Slovakia, with a total installed capacity of approximately 130 megawatts. The geographically diverse portfolio has played a role in powering Italy and Slovakia’s rapidly developing solar markets. In Italy, the photovoltaic plants are distributed across the country, while the Slovakian plants are primarily located in southern areas with sunlight levels similar to northern Italy.
Sunscreen is a strong addition to the Energy Infrastructure Partners portfolio, made possible by our industrial partner and majority shareholder, ContourGlobal. The power utility company, headquartered in New York and London, operates renewable and thermal power generation assets around the globe. ContourGlobal benefits from a strong, proven ability to improve the operational efficiencies of acquired assets by following a well-structured integration plan. Partnering with ContourGlobal gave EIP the opportunity to develop a long-term strategic relationship, which has since resulted in further collaborations such as Mirror in Spain.
