Smart Energies (www.smart-energies.eu) is an Independent Power Producer (IPP) specialized in the development, financing, construction and operation of renewable projects across Europe and Africa. Smart Energies was created in 2012, as a new structure coming from former SPTI group which had had a long history in the energy market in the 20th century. Smart Energies develops a growing portfolio of solar and hydro power plants, with a strong focus on solar rooftops and solar park shelters (from 100 kW) in Europe (primarily in France and Italy), as well as on larger-scale solar plants (> 10 MWp) in Africa (Tunisia, Chad). At Smart Energies, we strongly believe that installing gigawatts of solar PV is possible without consuming natural, agricultural or forest land. As of June 2022, Smart Energies owns and operates 345 plants accounting for ca 100 MW of installed capacity. Smart Energies recorded a turnover of EUR25.5m in 2021. Smart Energies is owned by the historical shareholders of SPTI (family offices), as well as by Rgreen Invest (financial investor) and by managers and employees of the group.
