Elmya Energy and Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure have established a joint venture named Elmantic, focused on developing 4 gigawatts of large-scale renewable energy projects across the United States.

Elmya Energy USA will collaborate with Atlantica's North American division to manage development efforts for the new entity. The venture draws on both companies’ experience in project development, infrastructure investment, and operations.

Atlantica specializes in developing, constructing, and operating renewable energy, storage, efficient natural gas, and transmission infrastructure in North and South America as well as Europe.

Elmya CEO Carlos Piñar noted that the U.S. represents a major and rapidly evolving energy market. The formation of Elmantic aligns with a period of expansion in the domestic power sector and reflects the growing importance of renewable energy in the national economy.

Initial project development will center on greenfield wind, solar, and storage facilities within the ERCOT and WECC regions.

Elmya Energy USA, which maintains offices in Richmond, Virginia and Austin, Texas, intends to expand its team in 2025 in support of the joint venture.

Colin Mott, Elmya’s Managing Director for North America, emphasized that community and landowner collaboration will be a priority in developing new energy infrastructure.

[Solar: India adds record 15.3GW of solar capacity in Q1 2026]
India installed 15.3GW of solar capacity in the first quarter of 2026, up 143% year on year and marking its highest quarterly addition on record. Utility projects accounted for 12.6GW, or 82% of total additions. Based on SMM research, the strong growth was mainly driven by project rush ahead of the June ALMM-II implementation, faster rollout of PM-KUSUM rural and agricultural solar projects, and concentrated grid connection before the phased reduction of ISTS transmission charge waivers.

Australian renewable energy developer Genex plans to reconfigure Stage 1 of its 2.5GW Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park in Queensland, reducing the solar component from 775MW to 300MW while adding a 425MW/1.7GWh battery energy storage system. The hybrid project, located around 275km west of Brisbane, is scheduled to begin construction in 2028 and may serve as a blueprint for the following three stages. Genex said the project review has delayed progress, but local stakeholders remain supportive. The company has also committed up to AUD 500,000 to support the redevelopment of a community hub in Millmerran.

Q.ENEST Holdings has completed a JPY 9 billion syndicated loan arranged by SMBC to fund an 80MW portfolio of low-voltage distributed PV assets across Japan. The financing was structured through an SPC and will be drawn down in stages over around one year as assets are acquired, with the first drawdown covering existing plants. Q.ENEST Denki, the group’s retail power unit, will act as the offtaker, supplying fixed-price green electricity to residential and corporate customers. The deal highlights growing financing interest in Japan’s distributed PV assets, supported by integrated generation, retail offtake and hedging models.
