SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2021 / SPI Energy Co., Ltd., (NASDAQ:SPI) (the "Company"), a global renewable energy company and provider of solar storage and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government, logistics and utility customers and investors, today announced that its Independent Power Producing ("IPP") subsidiary Orange Power Co., Ltd. produced roughly 47,866,746 kilowatt hours (kWhs) of renewable energy in 2020 from its solar projects in the UK, Italy and Greece. Orange Power produced enough energy in 2020 to power more than 8,000 average European homes and offset more than 32,357 tons of CO2 greenhouse gases.
As part of the European Green Deal, the European Commission proposed in September 2020 to increase the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target, including emissions and removals, to at least 55% compared to 1990 levels.
The global solar energy market was valued at $52.5 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $223.3 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2019 to 2026, according to Allied Market Research.
With the success that Orange Power has seen with its operating solar project portfolio in Europe, it is now targeting new acquisition opportunities in the US, Europe, and Australia. Orange Power will look to acquire operating solar projects as well as projects in various stages of development.
Mr. Xiaofeng Peng, Chief Executive Officer of SPI Energy, commented, "Our past experience of project development, acquisitions and long-term ownership makes us an ideal partner for solar developers who are looking to sell their project portfolios across the Globe. Our recent successful capital raises provide the funds to further grow Orange Power through near-term project acquisitions."
