History
Greensolver was created as we felt there was a real need in the market for an experienced and independent service provider catering to the infrastructure investors to deliver professional, world class services. Greensolver was until 2013 a subsidiary of Veolia Environnement and Eolfi where it became quickly a leading independent technical expert in the field of renewable energy. In April 2013, following an MBO, Guy Auger, its current president, bought Greensolver via Green Services Group. Early 2016, Greensolver merged with Dutch asset manager PLY Energy to expand our service offering in northern Europe.
In 2018, we acquired british asset manager ENTAP to consolidate our global European presence and deliver an enhanced wind & solar asset management to investors.
We benefit from 4 European offices (Paris, London, Groningen & Dublin) and 45 employees dedicated to assets optimization.
Our ambitions are global but we remain a human-sized company, owned by people who manage assets every day, adapt quickly to an ever-changing market and have a vision of further growth for our company.
Vision
We are truly independent. We do not develop projects and we are fully dedicated to being a service-only provider. This ensures our customers get our full, undivided attention and ensures no conflicts of interest between us.
We don’t see ourselves only as asset managers, we see ourselves as asset maximisers. From construction to operation and consulting, we go beyond and constantly look for ways to get more production out of the asset and over a longer period of time.
These certifications confirm our commitment to continuously improve and deliver our services with the highest level of quality and sustainability and within health & safety standards.
Working with us
Our team of experts handles both TCM, construction & advisory missions. This means that as a customer you always get experienced professionals working for your assets.
Each customer also benefits from a dedicated account manager, which act as your single point of contact within our organisation.
Responsible of coordinating all activities related to your assets, he is responsible (and paid on) the results of your wind or solar asset.
As innovation is one of our priorities, each asset manager benefits from 10% of his time to focus on it. Thanks to that, we’ve been able to develop innovative solutions (Greensolver index & GreenBoost) & piece of mind articles allowing you to take most advantage out of your assets.
