EUR 46 mn investment planned for 4Q 2022, and a c. EUR 176 mn injection in 1Q 2023. The remaining c. EUR 181 mn will come over the course of next year, Vortex Energy CEO Karim Moussa told Enterprise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ignis is using the funds to expand its portfolio:<\/strong> Since partnering with Vortex, Ignis has secured permits to add more than 1 GW of capacity and will begin construction on around half of that in the next few months, most of which are solar projects in Spain, Moussa told Enterprise. One of the largest solar developers in Spain, the company has been involved in developing some 14 GW of solar and wind projects inside the country and c. 11 GW elsewhere around the world, primarily in Italy, the US and the UK, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they said:<\/strong> \u201cWe are extremely delighted with the achievements of Ignis in such a short period of time and during these challenging market conditions,\u201d Moussa said. \u201cIgnis\u2019 management skills and quality of its portfolio continue to solidify its market position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Vortex:<\/strong> The renewables-focused investment platform has invested some USD 1.6 bn in green energy across the UK, EU, and US. It last year reached its first USD 200 mn close on its fourth fund, Vortex Energy IV, and plans to reach a second close worth about USD 550 mn on the fund within the next two years.
