EDP Renewables (EDPR), the world’s fourth-largest renewable energy producer, said on Thursday (Feb 24) it plans to invest up to S$10 billion by 2030 to establish a clean energy hub in Singapore for the Asia Pacific region.
EDPR, which is 75 per cent owned by Portugal’s biggest utility Energias de Portugal, closed a S$1 billion deal to acquire a 91 per cent stake in Southeast Asian renewables firm Sunseap Group on Thursday after all pending regulatory conditions were met for the agreement reached in November.
