"This is a significant milestone in the growth of R.Power. Our first international project finance agreement confirms our credibility in the European renewable energy market. We are pleased that CaixaBank and Banco BPI have entrusted us as partners in implementing photovoltaic projects in Portugal. The financing, backed by a long-term PPA, further demonstrates the robustness of our business," emphasized Przemek Pięta, co-founder and CEO of R.Power.
