Actis is launching Yeltica Energy, a new greenfield renewable-energy platform in Mexico.
Yeltica Energy is anchored by three solar-plus-storage projects totaling approximately 330 megawatts peak of solar PV and 255 megawatt-hours of battery storage, which were awarded under the first Mixed Investment Tender run by Mexico’s state utility, the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE).
