MithraSol specialises in the identification, development, construction and operation of Spanish solar photovoltaic assets and currently has 50MW of assets in development across twelve projects spanning central and southern Spain. The first of our phase one Spanish power plants began feeding electricity into the Spanish grid during Q1 2022 with the second connected and the third broken ground early Q2 2022. We have a deep network of contacts within the region which it is leveraging to identify, evaluate and acquire a significant pipeline of high quality development stage assets.
Our aim is to generate a highly attractive risk-adjusted return on capital for shareholders whilst providing a sustainable energy solution for future generations.
We have the grand ambition to become one of the largest producers of solar power in Spain by 2030 and are building a strong pipeline of development assets to help us achieve this goal.
MithraSol was founded in 2020 by Ethan Dempsey and Stephen Platts under the umbrella of Melqart Asset Management (UK) Ltd. specifically to invest in the Iberian renewables market. Despite our youth as a company, we have many years of experience in our team helping us to deliver upon our aim to generate a highly attractive risk-adjusted return on capital for shareholders whilst providing a sustainable energy solution for future generations.
